Nash Pinpoint Helicopter Swivels Size 8 | Gerrys Fishing

When it comes to helicopter and Chod rig presentations, the spin is everything. The Nash Helicopter Swivel Size 8 is purpose-built to ensure your hooklink can rotate 360 degrees with zero resistance. Engineered with an oversized eye and a stealthy, non-reflective finish, these swivels are a vital component for any angler looking to improve their long-range casting and bait presentation.

Product Details and Uses

High strength zero glare swivels with an enlarged eye to allow hooklinks to spin freely around tubing and leaders in helicopter end tackles. Helicopter Swivels slide easily over leader loops and knots for rig safety.

The standout feature of this swivel is the enlarged big eye. Unlike standard swivels that can bind up on thick leaders or tubing, the Helicopter Swivel ensures that your rig can rotate freely during the cast, preventing tangles and ensuring the hooklink always sits at the correct angle on the lake bed. More importantly, the oversized eye is a critical safety feature; it allows the rig to slide easily over leader knots or spliced loops in the event of a line break, ensuring the fish isnt left trailing a lead.

Gerrys Pro Tip

The Ultimate Naked Chod Safety: When fishing a Chod rig naked (directly on your monofilament mainline), use these swivels in conjunction with a Nash Bore Bead. The enlarged eye of the swivel ensures that if you crack off, the rig will fly right over your mainline knot or any debris on the line, making it one of the safest ways to fish a helicopter-style setup!

Examples of Where to Use

• Helicopter Rigs: The essential connection for your hooklink to rotate around the leader or tubing.

• Chod Rigs: Allows the short, stiff hooklink to spin and cock perfectly, regardless of the angle the carp approaches from.

• Long-Range Casting: The free-spinning nature of the enlarged eye helps prevent the hooklink from helicoptering and tangling around the mainline in mid-air.

• Safety Leaders: Specifically designed to pass over the knots used to join leaders to mainlines, ensuring a fish-safe release.

FAQs

Q: Why do I need a Big Eye swivel for helicopter rigs?

A: Standard swivels have small eyes that can get stuck on the leadcore or tubing, especially if there is any grit or weed present. The enlarged eye ensures the rig always moves freely, which is vital for both hooking efficiency and fish safety.

Q: Are these swivels strong enough for big fish?

A: Yes. Despite the larger eye, they are made from the same high-tensile, premium-grade alloy as the rest of the Nash swivel range, capable of handling the heaviest carp and most explosive takes.

Q: Will these fit over standard leadcore spliced loops?

A: Absolutely. They are designed specifically to slide over splices and leader knots, ensuring that the rig is fully compliant with modern safety standards
