Dr.Fish DF2TSSC3 Swivels Review
Our verdict
The Dr.Fish DF2TSSC3 packs just 20 stainless steel swivels for $10.99, matching the price of the 50-piece AFW FWSS07B/50 but with less than half the count. A 4.6-star average across 2,700 reviews and 100+ bought last month show it still sells well despite the lower piece count per dollar.

Anglers who want a small, stainless steel swivel pack from a recognizable Dr.Fish listing with a deep 2,700-review track record, and who don't need the largest possible piece count for the price.
Skip if
Skip it if piece count per dollar is the priority, since the same $10.99 buys 50 pieces from the AFW FWSS07B/50 instead of 20 here, or if a heavier line-weight rating is needed, which isn't listed for this product.

Overview
Picking a swivel pack usually comes down to a tradeoff between count and confidence, and the Dr.Fish DF2TSSC3 leans toward confidence. At $10.99 it delivers 20 stainless steel swivels weighing a combined 0.04 pounds, backed by 2,700 reviews averaging 4.6 stars.
Priced identically to the AFW FWSS07B/50, the DF2TSSC3 offers less than half the piece count, 20 versus 50, which makes it a weaker per-unit value on paper. It does, however, carry more than four times the review volume of the AFW listing's 621 reviews, and it matches the AFTCO FL1B's 4.6-star rating while costing $29 less than that single-piece clip.
With 100 or more units bought in the past month, the DF2TSSC3 keeps selling despite the lower count, suggesting buyers are choosing it for the brand and rating history rather than raw quantity. For anglers who don't need bulk and prefer a well-reviewed, stainless option in a smaller pack, it fits that niche.
Pros
- 4.6-star average matches the pricier AFTCO FL1B across a much larger 2,700-review sample
- Stainless steel construction, the same material as the AFTCO, Norman, and AFW alternatives
- 100+ bought in the past month indicates steady ongoing demand
- Largest review count of any 20-piece or smaller option in this comparison
- Priced the same as the 50-piece AFW pack, giving buyers a lower-count option at no price premium
- In stock with no availability delays
Cons
- Only 20 pieces for $10.99, less than half the count of the same-priced AFW 50-pack
- No target species or technique spec listed
- No stated pound-test or line-weight rating
- Higher cost per piece than the Norman NMSK-50 or AFW FWSS07B/50

Performance notes
At 0.04 pounds for the full 20-piece set, these swivels run light, averaging well under a gram each, which fits typical freshwater and light saltwater leader connections rather than heavy offshore rigging. Stainless steel construction matches the material spec listed for the AFTCO, Norman, and AFW alternatives, so baseline corrosion resistance should be comparable across all four despite the price and count differences.
The real tradeoff shows up in the piece count. At $10.99 for 20 pieces, the per-swivel cost runs noticeably higher than the AFW FWSS07B/50's 50 pieces at the same price, or the Norman NMSK-50's 50 pieces for $15.74. Anglers who rig and re-rig often will burn through a 20-count pack faster than the 50-count alternatives, though the smaller pack may suit anglers who don't want a large surplus sitting in the tackle box.
What buyers say
A 4.6-star average across 2,700 reviews puts this swivel on equal rating footing with the AFTCO FL1B, but with more than 14 times the review volume. That combination of a high rating sustained over a much larger sample suggests consistent satisfaction rather than a small early batch of enthusiastic reviewers. The 100+ bought-last-month figure shows recent demand is holding steady, in line with the Norman and AFW alternatives. Given the lower piece count relative to price, the strong review pattern suggests buyers are weighing the brand and rating history as more important than maximizing pieces per dollar.
