swivel wont break and it wont cut the line never had a problem with them and I tried all different sizes of swivels and these were the best ones. It even says on the package:
"A successful day of fishing starts with quality tackle. With durable Stainless steel construction TSUNAMI terminal tackle won't let you down!

Kind of an overkill for that reel I think. They're good for heavy timber flathead fishin, I used to have 2 but sold them. The PA has comparable backbone with a softer tip.
