I'm looking to buy a twistec, and it's sold out in all stores!!! I would like to know if you are going to manufacture and sell again? im from Brasil!!!!
I'd love to answer that, Rodney, but I don't know what a slide swivel is. Can you enlighten me? My normal frame of reference is based on Pacific Northwest tackle.
A 4/0 slide swivel with pigtail looks sometging like this www.hanapaafishing.com/sites/default/files/product/photos/40_Slide.png would this wire forming tool be able to make the pigtail twist unser the large loop if it can I want this product and will probably suggest it be brought in for sale at the sporting goods and fishing store I work at.
Hi Rodney, The open spiral of the corkscrew part of this swivel would be difficult, but not impossible. It could be achieved by making the basic crossover loop and wrap, and then backing up the crank to relax the coils. While this would not create as open of coil as is shown in the swivel illustration it could produce a tighter version. Not exactly what you are hoping for, but might do in a pinch. In the long run I hesitate to instruct you that this would be a good option for making this tackle item. By the way, where is the sporting goods store you work for?
Hi from the UK! The TwisTech is a great bit of kit, or would be if we could get hold of one! I've been to your website & see you are out of stock of the smaller one. There have also been a lot of folks here in the UK asking about it recently. Are there any plans to replace stock, and ship to dealers here in the UK? It is sad that such a great little product seems to be becoming extinct!
I don't think Twistech sells directly to end consumers. You'll have to order it from an importer within your own country or from a company here that will ship overseas. For the latter, consider Jann's Netcraft (www.jannsnetcraft.com). I've ordered from them for years and they do ship worldwide. Poulson Tackle, maker of this video, ship overseas as well, though seems less familiar with the process of doing so.
We experience an unexpected interruption in the supply chain of critical parts. We have secured new sources for those parts and expect to be back to building TwisTechs soon.
