Ball Bearing vs Black Ant Swivels
« on: Feb 24, 2016, 06:01 AM »
Hi Fellow Cold Freaks. When I use my tip ups I have always used small ball bearing swivels. I mostly fish small shiners of fatheads with my tips. I have always done this for years. I have to ask with the smaller baits can I get by with the Black Ant style of swivel?

thanks Icepants

Ive always used #12-14 barrel swivels with no issues.
