Tony, Are still selling the beaded swivels? I don't see them on your website.

There hasn't been any in quite a few years now. Bead used to make them as well but there was some failures so I would not recommend them.

I have had one fail with two fish on a new umbrella rig. It came apart at the boat and I watched the whole rig and two fish disappear. Since then, I don't use beaded anything.

My father and I had the same thing happen last year. But somehow one of the shad hooks snagged the swim platform and we made a save. I like the performance of the beaded swivels, just not the durability. Seems like they break easily if any angled torque is applied.
