Abstract:
A swivel for coupling a fishing lure to a fishing line comprises a body rotatable about an axis and having one end accommodated in a cavity of a housing. A journal within the housing encircles the body and has latching fingers which extend radially outward of the axis into latching engagement with keepers on the housing. The journal confronts a retainer having projections which are operable in response to the application of tensile force on the swivel to resist movement of the latching fingers in a direction to release them from the keepers.
