The Planer Connection That Actually Works
If you use handline planers, you know the drill. You need a way to attach the leader to the handline quickly and release it when a fish strikes. Some anglers use shower curtain rings. They work but they corrode, snag, and break at the worst times.
Billfisher Double Snap Swivels do the same job with proper fishing hardware. Clip your leader to one snap with a rubber band, clip the other snap to the handline. Lower profile, smoother in the water, and built from materials that survive saltwater. Three sizes cover planer setups from light inshore to heavy king mackerel spreads.

Double Snap Design
Snaps on both ends allow quick attachment and detachment without tying or crimping. Especially valuable for planer setups where you need to attach leaders to a handline and swap them quickly.
Planer Fishing Specific
Designed for handline planer use where leaders need to be clipped to the mainline and released on strike. More durable and lower profile than makeshift solutions like shower curtain rings or binder clips.
Three Practical Sizes
75 lb for light inshore, 135 lb for standard planer setups, 200 lb for heavy king mackerel and wahoo. You do not need massive swivels since the force on the connector is limited. The 135 lb covers most situations.

How to Rig a Double Snap Swivel for Planer Fishing
1. Clip one snap of the double swivel to your handline
2. Attach your leader to the other snap using a rubber band
3. Let out free spool as the planer pulls the rig into position
4. When a fish strikes, the rubber band breaks and the leader releases
5. Fight the fish directly on your rod without the planer
6. Re-rig with a fresh rubber band for the next set

How do I use these for planer fishing? +
Secure your leader to one snap with a rubber band, clip the other snap to your handline. Let out free spool and the planer pulls it out. On strike, the rubber band breaks and you fight the fish directly. See our planer fishing guide.
Why not just use shower curtain rings? +
Shower curtain rings corrode quickly in saltwater and have sharp edges that can damage line. These are purpose-built fishing hardware with smooth snaps. Lower profile in the water. Read our planer bridle guide.
What size for king mackerel planer spreads? +
135 lb or 200 lb. The swivel does not take the full fighting load since the rubber band breaks on strike. The 135 lb handles most setups. See our king mackerel guide.
Do you carry the Epic version? +
Yes. The Epic Double Snap Swivel is similar with tournament snaps and stainless construction at $0.99 to $1.35. Both work well. Browse our terminal tackle.
Can I use these for other applications? +
Any setup requiring quick-connect on both ends. Some anglers use them for drop shot rigs, multi-leader setups, or connecting dropper loops. See our swivels explained guide.
How many do I need for a planer spread? +
One per planer line. A typical spread runs 3 to 6 planers, so buy at least that many plus spares. At $2.26 each, stock up. Browse our terminal tackle.
