Mustad Rig & Surf Crossline Crimpable Rolling Swivel - Size 10

Overview

The Mustad Rig & Surf Crossline Crimpable Rolling Swivel is a specialist rig-making component supplied in Size 10, with 8 swivels per pack (pack code N08). Originally catalogued under Mustad reference 9958, it is now listed under the current Mustad reference 09958, with the exact Size 10 variant referenced as 9958-10-N08.

The design combines a crimpable fitting with a rolling swivel connection. The crimpable section sits on the rig body and is crimped into the required position, while the rolling swivel provides the connection point for the snood or trace.

This is a genuine Mustad product from the Rig & Surf range, aimed at anglers who construct their own terminal tackle rather than buying pre-made rigs.

Perfect For

This Crossline Swivel is intended for making multi-trace rigs, as specifically described in Mustad's original catalogue. It is particularly relevant to UK sea anglers constructing their own multi-hook shore rigs.

Anglers building custom sea-fishing rigs can use the crimpable fitting to fix the swivel at a chosen position along the rig body, then attach a snood to the rolling swivel for a rotating hook connection.

Technical Insight

The crimpable design allows the component to be fixed directly onto the rig body at the angler's chosen point, rather than relying on a pre-set position. This gives flexibility when constructing multi-trace rigs to a specific pattern.

The rolling swivel element then provides a rotating attachment for the snood, helping the trace turn independently of the main rig body. Practical guidance suggests matching the size of the crimp/swivel to the diameter of the rig body being used, though Mustad has not published a specific diameter table for this Size 10 component.
