Jig Spinners

[Excalibur]

I have started making jig spinner arms to go along with some of my jigs. Can someone recommend / point me to a reasonably priced swivel to use for a #2 colorado blade? +1 if I can also use the swivel to make some belly spins.

Buddy on another board turned me on to these swivels - they are really good and way cheaper than the rosco's

I use them on spinner frames but the size 8 (US size 12), I use in my pony and horsehead molds. If I remember correctly he said the size 6 (US size 10). It takes about 10-12 days to get them.

Thanks! Those look like they would do the trick but I am a bit confused by your post. Which size would be better for the jig spinner? 6 or 8?

The size 8 are what are used in my molds, but I also use them on my wire forms. They will work with a #2 blade. Wanted to give you another size in case you were needing bigger. The larger size pony and horsehead need a #10 swivel.

Roger. Thanks for explaining. So, I guess swivel numbers run different than hook numbers. In swivels, the bigger the number = bigger swivel? Whereas, hooks run opposite.

Yeah I'll be set for a long while now - before I got the info on the ebay ones I bought a 1000 through Crazy Angler Tackle, he gave me a good deal on them. But after seeing them at $15.99 a 1000 I bought a batch to check them out and I like them!!
