#2 has a stated breaking strength of 38 kg and comes in a pack of 2, while #4 is rated at 32 kg and contains 5. #6, #8, #10 and #12 are rated at 28, 24, 18 and 14 kg respectively, each with 10 per pack. Choose the size and strength for your setup, then check how many swivels the pack contains.
It is suitable for freshwater and saltwater spinning, bottom rigs and coastal sea fishing. Its free rotation helps reduce twist caused by rotating lures or current, so it serves as the connection between main line and leader in these setups. The supplier names pike, zander, perch, cod and sea trout as possible target species.
Tie the main line to one side and the leader to the other with a suitable fishing knot, such as a Palomar or Clinch knot. The supplier specifies knot attachment on both sides, and carefully tightened knots are important to the load-bearing connection.
Yes, the swivel is explicitly suitable for saltwater as well as freshwater. Rinse it with fresh water after saltwater use and store it dry. This care helps retain free rotation and service life, so saltwater suitability does not replace rinsing and drying.

The Balzer Tonnenwirbel is a barrel swivel for joining main line and leader in freshwater and saltwater. Its freely rotating body takes up twisting forces from rotating lures, current and playing fish, helping to reduce twist in the line and tangles in the leader.
The barrel-shaped body offers higher tensile strength than simple ring swivels, with low weight and a compact, unobtrusive profile in the water. Use it for river spinning, coastal sea fishing or as a connection in a bottom rig. The supplier names pike, zander and perch for spinning, plus cod and sea trout for coastal fishing.
The six versions differ in swivel size, stated breaking strength and number supplied:
Size | Breaking strength | Swivels per pack |
|---|---|---|
#2 | 38 kg | 2 |
#4 | 32 kg | 5 |
#6 | 28 kg | 10 |
#8 | 24 kg | 10 |
#10 | 18 kg | 10 |
#12 | 14 kg | 10 |
Choose by the strength required for your setup as well as swivel size. The #2 version provides the highest stated strength but the fewest swivels per pack. The #6, #8, #10 and #12 versions each contain ten, with progressively lower strength ratings. Pack quantity is therefore a separate consideration from load capacity.
Tie the main line to one side and the leader to the other using a suitable fishing knot, such as a Palomar or Clinch knot. Carefully tightened knots are important to the strength of the connection. After saltwater use, rinse with fresh water and store dry to help preserve free rotation and service life.
