Hi guys. So I've been building for quite a while now, but one aspect I've never gotten to the bottom of is regarding fishing swivels.
I know that stainless steel ball bearing swivels are the way to go. I've been using centro swivels for a while now, and while they work well, my question is...
Can it get better? Can I get swivels which spin more freely, which minimise drag and twisting on my cores?
I can't seem to figure out whether bigger swivels are better. On one hand, I think of the weight of a bigger swivel. Bigger welded rings, etc. Logically, since the wire has more weight to turn, it will cause a degree of twisting. But also, a bigger swivel means bigger bearings, so I figure that is an advantage, considering the speed at which we use our drills.
Basically, my question is this...
What's the best size swivel?
I have #3 and #5, but I'm wondering if bigger will be better?
Also, I've never purchased any brand other than Centro binox, so I have no benchmark for comparison.

Any advice in this regard will be appreciated.
