Overview
The FishTrip 3 Way Fishing Swivels are made from brass and sold in a 25-piece pack in the 2/0*1/0 size rated for 126 pounds, with a black finish. At $9.99, the price sits close to the AFW FWSS07B/50 at $10.99 and well under the Norman NMSK-50 at $15.74 or the AFTCO FL1B at $39.95.
The 4.5 star average across 257 reviews puts it on par with the Norman NMSK-50's 4.5 stars, though the Norman has more than double the review count at 539. It trails the AFW FWSS07B/50's 4.8 stars across 621 reviews and the AFTCO FL1B's 4.6 stars across 191 reviews, but 257 reviews is still a substantial sample size for this category.
Bought last month comes in at 200+, the strongest demand figure among the swivels compared here alongside the USZH300-YXB. Combined with the specified 126-pound rating and brass construction, this listing gives buyers more documented detail than several alternatives in this set, several of which do not list a breaking strength or material at all.
Pros
- 126-pound breaking strength listed for the 2/0*1/0 size, a documented spec several rivals lack
- 4.5 star average matches the Norman NMSK-50 across a strong 257-review sample
- 200+ bought last month is the top demand figure in this comparison
- 25-piece pack keeps cost per swivel low at $9.99
- Black finish keeps hardware low-profile on a leader
Cons
- Brass construction rather than the stainless steel used in the AFW and AFTCO listings
- 4.5 stars trails the AFW FWSS07B/50's 4.8 and AFTCO FL1B's 4.6
- 257 reviews, while solid, is still less than half the Norman NMSK-50's 539
- Priced above the cheapest options in this category, like the $5.99 snap swivel pack

Performance notes
The 126-pound rating in the 2/0*1/0 size gives buyers a concrete number to match against target species and line class, something several competing listings in this comparison do not provide. Brass is a softer metal than stainless steel, so it can be more prone to corrosion over long-term saltwater exposure, but it is also a common and cost-effective choice for three way swivel rigs used in freshwater or occasional saltwater trips. The 25-piece count in this size means the pack is sized for moderate use rather than the 50-piece bulk counts seen in the Norman NMSK-50 listing, so heavy users may go through it faster.
What buyers say
A 4.5 star average across 257 reviews is a solid, consistent showing, and it matches the Norman NMSK-50's rating while the FishTrip listing's 200+ bought last month figure outpaces it. That combination, a large review base holding at 4.5 stars alongside strong recent purchase volume, suggests the brass construction and 126-pound rating are meeting expectations for the price rather than drawing complaints about hardware strength. It sits behind the AFW FWSS07B/50 and AFTCO FL1B on star rating alone, but the review volume here is high enough to trust the pattern.
