The Kinetic Weighted Swivel is a versatile and innovative piece of fishing tackle that combines two essential components into one: a swivel and a small, fixed weight.

Key Features and Purpose

• Weighted: It includes a fixed weight, typically made from brass or environmentally friendly zinc, and is available in various weights (e.g., 5g, 7g, 10g, 15g, 20g).
• Swivel Function: It retains the ability to spin freely, which is the primary function of a swivelto prevent line twist when using lures that rotate (like spinners) or when retrieving soft plastic lures.
• High Versatility: The combination of weight and swivel allows for creative rigging solutions.

How it is Used in Fishing

The Weighted Swivels design provides several rigging advantages, mainly for lure fishing, particularly with soft plastics (shads):

1. Adding Belly Weight to Lures: This is one of the most common and effective uses. By attaching the weighted swivel to the mid-section or the stinger hook of a large soft plastic lure (shad or swimbait), it acts as a keel or belly weight.
   • Improves Action: It lowers the lures center of gravity, which can give the soft plastic a better, more natural swimming action and a slight rocking motion.
   • Controls Depth: It helps the lure sink faster and stay at a desired depth, especially when fishing in deeper water or strong currents, without using a traditional heavy jig head.
2. Adjusting Rig Balance: It can be used in various other rigs (like a dropper or paternoster) to place a specific amount of weight at a strategic point in the setup, ensuring everything tracks correctly.
3. Preventing Line Twist: As a standard swivel, it is attached to the main line or leader to stop a spinning lure from twisting the main fishing line, which can lead to knot failure and line weakness.

In essence, the Kinetic Weighted Swivel is a multi-purpose component for anglers who want to precisely control the depth, action, and balance of their lures while simultaneously maintaining a clean, twist-free line.
