Stainless Steel Crane Swivels Built for Real Saltwater Fishing

Most crane swivels on the market use brass bodies with a stainless snap tacked on. That works fine until salt, sun, and a big fish expose the weak link. These Epic Fishing Co. crane swivels are **100% stainless steel** from eye to eye. Eight sizes cover everything from **70lb inshore leaders** to **600lb offshore trolling rigs**, and every pack includes **25 swivels** so you can rig up without counting pennies. The compact barrel design keeps your terminal tackle streamlined while delivering breaking strengths that match swivels twice the size. Whether you are crimping wire leaders for king mackerel or tying mono rigs for snook, these swivels handle the job without corroding after one trip.
  • 100% stainless steel — zero brass, zero corrosion weak points
  • 70lb to 600lb breaking strength — 8 sizes for inshore through offshore
  • 25 per pack starting at $8.99 — roughly $0.36 per swivel
  • Compact barrel design — smaller profile at equivalent strength ratings
  • Saltwater proven — built to handle repeated exposure without pitting

Stop Losing Fish to Corroded Swivels

You crimp a perfect leader, tie a clean knot, and set the drag. Then a bull red smokes your swivel because the brass body corroded after three trips. Sound familiar? Cheap swivels with mixed metals are the most overlooked failure point in saltwater rigging. One corroded eye is all it takes to turn a personal best into a lost fish story.

Epic Fishing Co. crane swivels solve this with a simple rule: **100% stainless steel, no exceptions**. No brass bodies pretending to be stainless. No plated surfaces that flake after UV exposure. Every component is the same corrosion-resistant alloy, so the swivel is only as weak as its rated breaking strength, not its cheapest material.

We stock these in our own rigging station and use them on every leader we build. Eight sizes from **#14 at 70lb** up to **1/0 at 600lb** means one product line covers panfish rigs, inshore leaders, and heavy offshore trolling spreads. At 25 per pack, you always have spares when the bite is on.

100% Stainless Steel, Zero Brass

Every component is stainless steel. Not brass with a stainless snap. Not plated. The #5 size measures just **19mm** yet handles **220lb of breaking strength**. That strength-to-size ratio comes from consistent material quality, not oversized hardware.

8 Sizes from Inshore to Offshore

Pick the right swivel for the job. **#14 (70lb, 10mm)** disappears on light inshore leaders. **#3 (310lb, 21mm)** handles king mackerel and cobia rigs. **1/0 (600lb)** is built for blue marlin trolling spreads. One product line, every application.

25 Pack Value at $0.36 Per Swivel

The smaller sizes start at **$8.99 for 25 swivels**. Even the heavy-duty 1/0 runs just **$14.99 per 25 pack**. Compare that to buying name-brand swivels 6 at a time from the pegboard. You get more swivels for less money, and you never run short mid-trip.

How to Choose Crane Swivels

  1. Match your swivel breaking strength to your leader strength, not your main line. A 60lb leader pairs with the #14 (70lb) or #12 (100lb) swivel.
  2. Choose the smallest swivel that exceeds your leader rating. Smaller swivels create less drag and look more natural to the fish.
  3. Use #14 through #7 for inshore species like redfish, snook, and speckled trout on leaders up to 80lb.
  4. Use #5 or #3 for kingfish, cobia, and medium offshore trolling with leaders from 100lb to 250lb.
  5. Use #1 or 1/0 for heavy offshore trolling, shark leaders, and any rig above 300lb.
  6. Crimp your leader wire or heavy mono directly to the swivel eye using the correct size crimp sleeve for a clean, reliable connection.
  7. Inspect swivels before every trip. Spin the barrel between your fingers. If it feels gritty or stiff, replace it.

What is the difference between a crane swivel and a barrel swivel? +
Crane swivels have a longer, narrower profile that allows smoother rotation under load. They handle higher breaking strengths in a more compact package than barrel swivels of the same rating. Check out our fishing swivels guide for a full comparison.
Are these swivels really 100% stainless steel? +
Yes. Both eyes and the barrel body are stainless steel. Many competing crane swivels use brass bodies with stainless snaps, which creates a corrosion weak point in saltwater. See our leader FAQ for more on terminal tackle materials.
What size crane swivel do I need for inshore fishing? +
For most inshore species (redfish, snook, trout), the #14 (70lb) or #12 (100lb) handles typical leader weights. Match your swivel to your leader strength, not your main line. Our swivel size chart breaks down every size and application.
What size do I need for offshore trolling? +
For light trolling (kingfish, dolphin), use #3 (310lb). For heavy trolling spreads targeting billfish or tuna, go with #1 (500lb) or 1/0 (600lb). Our trolling spread guide covers rigging in detail.
Can I crimp wire leader directly to these swivels? +
Absolutely. The swivel eyes are sized to accept standard crimp sleeves for single-strand and multi-strand wire. Pair them with our copper crimp sleeves for a secure connection.
How do I attach these swivels to my leader? +
For wire leaders, crimp directly to the swivel eye. For heavy mono or fluoro, use a crimp or an improved clinch knot. Our crimping guide walks through both methods step by step.
Do I need a crane swivel or a ball bearing swivel? +
Crane swivels are ideal for most rigging where cost and strength matter. Ball bearing swivels offer smoother rotation for high-speed trolling and spinning lures. If you need ball bearing performance, check out our AFW ball bearing snap swivels.
How do I match swivel size to my target species? +
Use our leader weight chart to find the right leader strength for your species, then pick the swivel that meets or exceeds that rating. For example, 40lb leader for speckled trout pairs perfectly with the #14 (70lb) swivel.
