I thought this was a good place for a swivel

I will have another swivel (barrel) about 10" away and another 10" with a loop on the end.

Great idea. I purchased those tear drop connectors, but I like your idea better. I have already made a bunch of those swivels. I use them on low water stoploss. They fit over a piece of lath perfectly. Question,with the barrel swivels? are you using chain or cable?

Cable, as soon as my stainless supplies arrive in the mail
I need some more #9 wire, everything I have is rusty

My jig for this is a hickory hammer handle with a hole drilled in it
I cut grooves 1/4" wide by 3/4" deep into a deep well socket to do the twisting

Not a fan of the wire swivels as they can bind up. I run a cable loop off the spring eye directly to a barrel swivel or a box swivel.

This is how I rig all my conibears regardless of size. Tear drop ring to a crunch proof. Then cable off the swivel and the cable has a swivel on the other end of it.

These are the new Duke 120 Super Mags I’m rigging up for marten

Where are you getting the Super Mags? I haven’t seen them out anywhere.

I use 9 links of #3 welded link chain (on 280s & 330s.) Put chain end thru spring eye and then one end link thru the other end link. A #6 j-hook will fit thru the end link after putting it thru the other end link....swivel on from there.
