The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
A tackle box that needs to cover multiple line classes and species in one restock usually benefits from an assorted kit rather than a single-size pack, and the ZX swivel kit is built around that idea. For $12.99, it delivers 200 swivels spread across five sizes, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10, in a brass and copper build weighing 0.13 kilograms total, working out to about 6.5 cents per swivel, the lowest per-piece price of any listing in this comparison.
The 4.4 star average across 139 reviews is on the lower end of this set, matching the rating of the Longline Fishing Snap Clips but trailing the Norman NMSK-50's 4.5 stars across 539 reviews and the AFW FWSS07B/50's 4.8 across 621. With 50-plus units bought last month, demand is steady, though it falls short of the 100-plus monthly figures on those two higher-rated competitors.
For anglers who want breadth of sizing and bulk quantity above all else, the ZX kit's 200-piece assortment and low per-piece cost make it a practical restock. Anyone fishing saltwater where corrosion resistance matters most should weigh the stainless steel AFW FWSS07B/50 or Norman NMSK-50 instead, since this kit is brass and copper rather than stainless.
Pros
- 200 pieces for $12.99 works out to about 6.5 cents per swivel, the lowest per-piece cost in this comparison
- Assorted sizes 2 through 10 cover multiple line classes in a single purchase
- 139 reviews is a reasonable sample size for judging consistency
- 50+ bought last month shows steady ongoing demand
- Compact 0.13 kilogram total weight for the full 200-piece set
Cons
- 4.4 star average is on the lower end of this comparison set
- Brass and copper construction lacks the corrosion resistance of stainless steel options like the AFW FWSS07B/50
- Bought-last-month figure of 50+ trails the 100-plus volume on the Norman NMSK-50 and AFW FWSS07B/50
- Review count of 139 is the smallest sample among the swivels in this comparison
- No stated line-strength rating, unlike the AFW FWSS07B/50's 180-pound test

Performance notes
The brass and copper build sets this kit apart from the stainless steel swivels elsewhere in this comparison, a material choice that tends to hold up fine in freshwater but is more prone to corrosion in saltwater over time than stainless. The five-size assortment, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10, is the widest sizing range in this set, letting one purchase cover species from light panfish rigs up through mid-size gamefish without buying separate packs. At 0.13 kilograms for all 200 pieces, the individual swivels are lightweight, consistent with smaller freshwater-oriented hardware rather than the heavier-duty pieces built for trolling or big-game work. Anglers fishing exclusively saltwater should weigh the corrosion tradeoff against the size variety and bulk savings this kit offers.
What buyers say
A 4.4 star average across 139 reviews places this kit at the lower end of the ratings in this comparison, alongside the Longline Fishing Snap Clips' 4.4 stars, and behind the 4.5 to 4.8 range posted by the Norman NMSK-50 and AFW FWSS07B/50. With 139 reviews, the sample is smaller than most competitors here, though still large enough to be a meaningful pattern rather than a fluke. The 50-plus bought-last-month figure indicates ongoing demand, positioning this as a steady bulk seller even without a top-tier rating. Buyers likely weigh the size variety and low cost per piece heavily enough to overlook a rating that trails the stainless steel competitors.

Is brass and copper as durable as stainless steel for swivels?
