292 owner reviews, more than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other fishing gear and tackle we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
A tackle box staple is the small barrel swivel, and the AMYSPORTS YYT-US-NSZHB-12-50 fits that role at $8.99 for a 50 piece pack rated for size12, 24lb line. That price point puts it below the Norman NMSK-50 at $15.74 and well under the AFTCO FL1B at $39.95, making it an easy add to a tackle order without much financial commitment.
The 4.4 star rating across 292 reviews suggests a generally positive reception, though it sits slightly behind the AFW FWSS07B/50's 4.8 stars across 621 reviews and the Norman's 4.5 stars across 539 reviews. Review volume here is respectable but smaller than those two established competitors, which have accumulated hundreds more ratings.
Spec wise, the listing only confirms size12 with a 24lb rating and a 50 piece count, without the added material or weight details some competitors list, like the AFW's stainless steel and 22.68 gram weight breakdown. Buyers looking for a straightforward, no frills swivel at a low price point have a reasonable option here, though those wanting fuller spec transparency may lean toward listings with more detailed documentation.

- Rating of 4.4 stars is the lowest among the four swivels compared here
- No weight or additional durability specs to compare against heavier duty options

Performance notes
The size12 rating with a 24lb line test tells you this swivel is built for lighter tackle setups, think panfish, trout, or light bass gear rather than offshore trolling. A 50 piece count at this price works out to under 18 cents per swivel, which matters if you re-rig often or lose tackle to snags. Without a listed material spec, buyers are relying on the rating pattern rather than a confirmed stainless steel or brass construction claim. The 24lb rating positions it well below the AFW FWSS07B/50's 180 pound test swivel, so this is not a like for like substitute for heavier saltwater rigging. For freshwater use where line strength requirements stay modest, the size12 rating should comfortably cover the intended range.
What buyers say
A 4.4 star average across 292 reviews indicates most buyers who left feedback were satisfied, though the rating trails the 4.8 stars the AFW FWSS07B/50 earned from 621 reviewers and the 4.5 stars from Norman's 539. The gap isn't dramatic, but it does suggest a slightly higher rate of mixed experiences compared to those two competitors. The bought last month figure sits at 0+, which doesn't provide a read on current demand momentum the way the Norman and AFW listings do at 100+ each. Overall the review pattern points to a product that satisfies most buyers without standing out as a top performer in this swivel category.

Frequently asked questions
What size line does the AMYSPORTS size12 swivel work with?
This swivel is rated size12 with a 24lb line test, according to the listed specs. That makes it suited to light to medium freshwater applications rather than heavy saltwater trolling, where higher pound test swivels like the AFW FWSS07B/50 rated at 180 pounds would be a better match.
How does the price compare to other swivels in this category?
At $8.99 for 50 pieces, it undercuts the Norman NMSK-50 at $15.74 for the same count and is far cheaper than the AFTCO FL1B at $39.95. It's priced close to the AFW FWSS07B/50 at $10.99, making it one of the more budget friendly 50 count options.
Is the 4.4 star rating a concern?
Not necessarily. A 4.4 star average across 292 reviews still reflects a generally positive reception. It simply trails the 4.8 and 4.5 star averages of the AFW and Norman swivels, both of which have larger review counts backing their ratings.
