Turner Tackle Ringer Swivels
The Turner Tackle Ringer Swivels are specialized bait-rigging components designed to create natural, free-moving presentations for offshore trolling and pitch bait applications. The swivel system allows a rigged bait to rotate independently from the circle hook, helping reduce twisting and unnatural sideways tracking in current or rough conditions. Designed for use with industry-standard #8 UV bands, Ringer Swivels can be incorporated into tournament-style circle hook rigs for ballyhoo, mackerel, and other natural baits.
The integrated O-ring provides a convenient connection point that allows the circle hook to be installed or removed without disrupting the bait rig. Multiple swivel sizes accommodate different bait and hook combinations, from standard ballyhoo rigs to large horse ballyhoo and mackerel pitch baits. Size 1 accepts commonly used 6/0 to 9/0 circle hooks, Size 2 accommodates heavier 10/0 to 12/0 hooks, and Size 3 is designed for large pitch baits and heavy-wire 12/0 and larger circle hooks.
Size 1 Ringer Swivels™ are commonly rigged with Small/Medium sized ballyhoo. The o-ring is perfectly sized to accept the industry standard 6/0-9/0 circle hooks.
Size 2 Ringer Swivels™ are commonly rigged for pitch baits with Large/Horse ballyhoo and similar sized baits. The o-ring is larger than #1’s and is commonly paired with thicker wire 10/0-12/0 circle hooks.
Size 3 Ringer Swivels™ are commonly rigged with large pitch baits: mackerel/horse ballyhoo. Thicker wire 12/0+ hooks no problem.
