    Drop shot swivel woes

    I've been pouring hundreds of drop shot weights the past few winters. I've been using the line gripper drop shot swivel from Do-It. I would run into the occasional swivel that would not spin but now it is running about 15 per hundred that won't spin. Any of you guys running into this problem? Not a pouring problem as the line grip is not hampered by any lead. Last year I tried some swivels from Ebay but they were a touch smaller and did not pour well.

    Shout out to Barlow's Tackle. Matt Barlow read my post and sent me more swivels without me asking. No fault of Barlow's for bad swivels but they made it right. That's real service along with good prices and fast shipping. Try em'
