Stainless Steel 3 Way Swivels by Epic Fishing Co.
Epic stainless steel 3 way swivels are built for making bottom fishing rigs. The three attachment points let you connect your main line, sinker dropper, and hook leader all at one junction. Black oxide coating over stainless steel keeps them corrosion-free in salt water. Sold in 15 packs from $2.25.
- 100% stainless steel with black oxide finish
- 3 sizes: 100lb, 125lb, and 175lb test
- 15 swivels per pack for bulk rigging
- Smooth rotation reduces line twist and tangles
- Perfect for bottom rigs, chicken rigs, and dropper loops
The Foundation of a Good Bottom Rig
A 3 way swivel is the backbone of bottom fishing rigs for snapper, grouper, flounder, and dozens of other species. It keeps your sinker, leader, and main line separated so nothing tangles on the drop. That means less time untangling and more time fishing.
Epic builds these from stainless steel instead of the cheap brass you find elsewhere. Stainless is roughly three times stronger than brass at the same size, and the black oxide coating adds extra corrosion protection. At 15 per pack starting at $2.25, you can pre-tie a whole day's worth of rigs the night before.

3 Way Design for Bottom Rigs
Three independent attachment eyes let you connect your main line on top, a sinker dropper on the bottom, and your hook leader to the side. This classic rig setup keeps everything separated and tangle-free on the drop.
Stainless Steel with Black Oxide
Full stainless steel construction with a black oxide finish provides serious corrosion resistance. Stainless is up to 3x stronger than brass at the same size, so these swivels handle heavy loads without bending open.
15 Pack Bulk Value
Each package contains 15 swivels, so you can pre-rig a full day's worth of bottom rigs without running out. At $2.25 per pack for the 100lb and 125lb sizes, stocking up costs almost nothing.
How to Tie a Bottom Rig with a 3 Way Swivel
1. Tie your main line to the top eye of the 3 way swivel using a Palomar knot
2. Attach a 12-18 inch dropper line to the bottom eye for your sinker
3. Tie a bank or egg sinker to the end of the dropper line
4. Connect a 24-36 inch leader to the side eye
5. Tie your hook to the end of the leader
6. Drop to the bottom, reel up 1-2 cranks, and wait for the bite

What is a 3 way swivel used for? +
A 3 way swivel connects three lines at one junction - your main line, sinker dropper, and hook leader. It is the standard component for bottom fishing rigs. Our fishing swivels guide explains all the different types.
What size 3 way swivel should I use? +
The 100lb covers most inshore bottom fishing. Use 125lb for heavier setups targeting grouper or snapper. The 175lb handles offshore deep dropping. Check our swivel size chart for detailed sizing.
Are these 3 way swivels stainless steel? +
Yes, 100% stainless steel with a black oxide coating for additional corrosion resistance. Stainless is roughly 3x stronger than brass. Browse our Epic crane swivels if you need standard 2-eye swivels too.
How many come in a pack? +
Each pack contains 15 swivels. That is enough to pre-rig a full day of bottom fishing. See our full crane swivel kit if you want a complete assortment.
Can I use these for deep dropping? +
Yes. The 175lb size handles the heavy sinkers and strong currents typical of deep drop fishing. Pair them with heavy leaders and circle hooks. Our deep drop guide covers the full setup.
What is the difference between a 3 way swivel and a regular barrel swivel? +
A 3 way has three eyes for connecting three separate lines, while a barrel swivel has two. Use a 3 way when you need a sinker on a separate dropper. Our swivels guide compares all the types.
