I bought these off of eBay. Thought they'd be good for belly spins but I think they might be way too small. size 12. this pic is 200 of them and yes that is a teaspoon.... these things are like micro swivels. only thing I think they might work for is a 1/64 or smaller belly spin? I don't think that small of I jig would even turn the blade though? any ideas for these?

What size blade were you planning on using?? I use #12's on up to 1/8th oz. horse, pony and v-spinner frames with #1 blades with no problems.

in my mind I wasn't thinking there'd be enough room between the body of the jig and the rotation of the blade. was gonna use #1 as well. I might have some old #0 laying around too. they just look so small. even if they don't work I only paid $2.75 including shipping so it won't be the end of the world I guess? nice lookin jigs by the way, fatman.

I know i have heard there are a couple different ways that swivels are sized........? Those sure do look awful tiny since that is a TEAspoon!

You do add a little extra lentght and size once you add on the split/butt ring to help with room to rotate the blade.
