    Lakeland is imported. Hagens not sure but I do know that I will use Hagens swivels any day of the week for any fish I fish for. I have used their crane interlock snap swivels and crane swivels for years and have never had one break, tarnish or fail to function properly.

    Guess I should have used less expensive, when I think something is cheap I call it junk.

    let tell you something that size swivel #12 is more than likely imported for do you really think hagens are the only one's that can get the swivels that they are selling I would almost like to guess where they are getting them from and that company is very good and stands behind all there products. All I am saying is you can get them cheaper without the markup buying them direct it is not about who you think sells better product, it about getting it for less

    Doesn't matter to me where I get them. If there is a less expensive place then I am all for it. I wasn't trying to be offensive or snotty, just stating what I know. I will buy them from you if you can get them direct. Gonna need more crane swivel with interlock snaps sooner or later. I can't find them direct. All I know is I hate paying the crazy prices in the stores. For that matter, I will send you my spread sheet for spinner components I need for fall. Would love to find a better price.

    Like I have said before, rather buy from another member anyway.

    The interlock swivels those can be a nit pricey depending on the size that you are looking for and they are really marked up in the stores for you dont really start getting much of a discount until you hit about 5000 pieces than you have the excise tax as well as shipping added to it, shops have no choice but to mark them way up.

    What size interlock snaps are you looking for?

    Complete swivel, crane barrel with safety snap. Color doesn't matter, fish don't care but I normally use silver simply to prevent rust/corrosion if that really matters anymore with the coatings they use.

    Fatman, have you ever made them with a snap instead of a barrel so you can exchange the blade out with different size and/or colors? It should still wobble alright and work to attract fish with one. Although I admit I don't know if the blade spins or just wobbles as I haven't used them, yet.

    Fish I'll stick to the crane swivels!!! They may cost more but they make the jig look so good.

    Well with all the suggestions from here and other fishing boards I'm gonna go with the full shot of 1000 on everything from Worth. Most places order from them and then repackage and I know their quality is excellent.
