What are the Barrel Swivels used for? I bought some with the Interlock Snaps so I could easily switch out the crank baits however I noticed when I used them. It made the crankbait go lower to the floor of the lake. I"m think it is b/c of the weight of the barrel so what is the purpose of these if not for the easy switch of lures. Is there something else that won't increase the weight.
Thanks!
Duolocks - just use these instead of the combo piece.
Here's a link to what they look like... http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/links/link.jsp?id=0011850113061a&type=product&cmCat=SEARCH_all&returnPage=search-results1.jsp&Ntt=duolock&Ntk=Products&sort=all&Go.y=0&_D%3AhasJS=+&N=0&_D%3Asort=+&Nty=1&hasJS=true&_DARGS=%2Fcabelas%2Fen%2Fcommon%2Fsearch%2Fsearch-box.jsp.form1&Go.x=0&_dyncharset=ISO-8859-1
(swivels, of any type, are used mainly to reduce line twist when joining two lines. ie. I use them when I fish with braid and have a leader of another material like mono or floro)
the price could be anywhere from $10.00 to $10,000... the problem will be finding someone who wants it.. sadly sometimes people get things and it is appraised for a high amount and they automatically think they will get that for it.... but what it really comes down to is finding someone who wants what you have.... you will likely get more for it if you have more than one person interested in it...
I have these 2 swivel occasional barrel chairs with hideous burnt orange 70's fabric. I want to recover them but have never done anything like this before- does anyone have good advice or know where I can look to get instruction?
Thanks!
If you are handy this shouldn't be too hard. Look to see how they are assembled and disassemble one at a time carefully, making sure to take note for when you have to put the chair back together. Use the pieces of fabric that you take off as patterns for the new fabric.
Good Luck!
I want to buy the Steyr Mannlicher Full Stock (stock to the end of the barrel) but want to make sure that it has a free floating barrel. I dont want to run into the issue of the stock messing with the integrity of the barrel after the passage of time. Even though you may think that wood wont bent metal, it will, even if it is ever so slight; at 200 meters it makes all the difference of a good kill shot or not. This has been an issue with other full stock rifles (from what i have learned and heard). I also want to make sure the sling swivel is attached only to the stock, not to the barrel through the stock. I have asked several weapon smiths but none I have spoken with know much about the Steyr Mannlicher Classic line. I am only looking for answers from fellow hunters, or weapon smiths who know the mannlicher classic line, so if you know the answer, or know where to find it, please place your answer. Thank you so much, and Waidmannsheil!!!
I have several Steyr firearms from past decades and they are really top quality. Unfortunately, I haven't seen one of the full stock rifles since I was a young man. It's a darn good question.....I ask myself this whenever I see a full stock .....how do they float the barrel. However, I know rifles like the Enfield Mk4 did it quite well.
Here's Steyr's USA contact...call them and ask.

If ball bearing swivels are considered the best type, which is the next best, crane or barrel swivels?
The crane swivel is next in line because it closely matches the action of the ball bearing swivel and is less expensive. Barrel swivels are the most common and cheapest to buy but do not prevent line twists as well as the top 2. Although they are more common among anglers, they are just as tough as any other and easy on the wallet. ~good luck catchin.
Carp Float Fishing
Float fishing is probably one of the easiest way for new steelhead fishermen to learn. It is similar to bobber fishing for trout, except you use a unbreakable float instead of a plastic red and white bobber. Floats come in many shapes and sizes. The size of your float should be just big enough to float your bait/lure with out sinking so fish don’t detect the float. In clear water use a clear float or a natural cork float. Float fishing is a very effective method in calm pools, and boulder strewn rivers. Without float fishing in your arsenal you may be missing some very good opportunities to catch more fish.
Presentation for Dead Drifting a jig
Floats come in many shapes and sizes. The size of your float should be just big enough to float your bait/lure with out sinking so fish don’t detect the float. A float should ride the surface naturally occasionally stuttering as the bait/lure hits a rock. You can cast a float farther upstream than a drift fishing approach since the float will keep the line from going around rocks. As a float comes down stream reel up the slack, and as it goes down stream free spool with just enough tension not to disturb the float but enough to set the hook immediately. Keep your line off the surface of the water so it doesn’t drag the float. It is extremely important not to drag the float which will cause the bait to rise off the bottom out of the strike zone. Always use sticky sharp hooks. Let me repeat that always use sticky sharp hooks.
Tail out Skimming Presentation
If you have a tail out you would like to cover with your float you can increase your leader length so it is longer than it is deep and hold back pressure against the float so it pulls the jig off the bottom and works it way back to shore.
The STRIKE
The float will just go down… SET THE HOOK!!! Your line should be tight and rod should be ready to strike.
Floats – fixed
Most float fishermen use a fixed float with about 4-9 feet of line to the bait/lure. The float should be placed on the main line with the swivel between the float and the bait. The distance below the float to the bait should be adjusted so the bait is just above the bottom. Fixed floats are difficult to cast with a bait casting reel. It is far easier to use a spinning rod to cast the float and jig. Above are two different types of floats. The foam ones on the right are commonly called dinks and the line is inserted through a tube on the top, then wrapped around the foam and reinserted into a tube on the bottom. The leader distance can be adjusted very quickly to meet the fishing situation with this style of float. It also supports a heavier weight setup. The Balsa floats on the right can be rigged as solid or sliding depending on your fishing style. To make them fixed just thread two surgical pieces on the line and pull over the ends of the float. The balsa stemmed float can also be fished with one piece of tubing and a piece of lead inserted in tubing make casting easier.
