InvisaSwivel
From Aquateko

Anglers go out of their way
to make fishing line invisible.

They buy expensive line made from fluorocarbon, with the same density as water, that disappears when dunked.

Then what do they do?

They tie a metal swivel to the line.

Oh, a fish can’t see that. Yeah.

The folks at Aquateko thought about that. So they developed the InvisaSwivel, a clear-plastic swivel made with fluorocarbon.

The InvisaSwivel is invisible under water.

It’s also meant to perform better than metal swivels.

The lighter weight allows the line to move more naturally than
metal, and corrosion, a main cause of malfunction on metal swivels,
is impossible on the plastic InvisaSwivel.

Neither saltwater nor freshwater affects the InvisaSwivel.

The space-age material -- specifically Fluoro-Clear, a type of fluorocarbon -- also self-lubricates the InvisaSwivel, the company says.

Plus the InvisaSwivel won’t nick the rod guides like metal will.

What’s more, the InvisaSwivel can be bent hundreds of times
without fatigue or memory, unlike metal swivels that will break
if bent a few times, the company says.

InvisaSwivels come in 12-, 25-, 35- and 55-pound sizes.

An invisible swivel -- that figures, huh?
