Sampo vs ??? Swivels

[silasvirus82]

Recently I was at BPS to purchase some ball bearing swivels for a tube and worm rig and was overwhelmed by the price tag on Sampo swivels. Not even thinking twice I shifted over to the generic ball bearing swivels, picked out what I wanted and checked out. I fished all weekend using these with no issue, but was left wondering about why those Sampo were so darn expensive. Doing a little research you can of course find plenty of people "swearing by them", but isn't a swivel just a swivel?

I've used the Cabelas version for years witout a single fail. They make the BPS version look expensive.

I have switched over to billfishers krok swivels, and love them. they are pricey but havent failed yet. i like the size per lb test comparison to the regular swivels.
