Since I've gotten back into bagging I've been buying different swivels and seeing what I like and don't like. One of the features I've really come to like was on the some of the older swivels S-hook, on how it was kinked outward and back inward. When you put the bag on it had to go on with a twist to slide it around this kink. This kept the bag from coming off no matter how many ways I miss hit.
I asked Dee if she could make a S-hook like that for a #13 swivel and send it too me. She did and I am very happy with the result. It will take a Ringside Heritage Bag which has a very heavy bag loop and a Leone, which has a fairly long and thin loop and hold them on with out coming off no matter how I miss hit the bag. I've purposely tried to hit the bag upward to knock it off the hook and it has not come off yet. I'm very happy with it. No more taping the bag to keep it on the hook. Here's some pics. Dee said she will make these available on request.
The marks on the hook are from me making just a few tweeks on it with some vise grips to make the kink just a little more pronounced.
This is by far my favorite swivel now. Great job Dee.
This is the vintage one I wanted to duplicate.
This is the new Deville with a Kink.
This is the Ringside Heritage on the hook.
Here's a side view to show the spacing.
This is a Tufwear which has a smaller loop
