![]() ![]() These are also something you want to get a high test out of, look for around a #2 swivel they have a high test and a very fast spin. ![]() Swivels also for deep sea fishing use the sealed barrel type they seem to work the best. You are putting heat and inertia on these connections so even though you may only have a few ounces of weight at the end of your chain several laws of physics apply to make this necessary. Here is what you will need and remember the higher the test the better so long as it fits your application: Split rings get these from a deep sea fishing department ABSOLUTELY NOT the key ring isle try get a 200 lb test or better. These you will also need to have swivels in order for them to not twist up on you. This will be the material that I will be choosing to make my PRO Chains out of. Each link is welded closed for superior strength, it resist heat and tarnish from the fire for the most part (I am not saying they do not get hot they do) and it comes in many gauges for your weight preference. This will lock up in a orbital nicely it will also slide out of most tangles incredibly easy. Finally my favorite twist chain, this is the chain that they use mostly for dog choker collars and leashes. I love mine but will not use them for any thing but unlit practice. Also you need swivels to use these. There are about 1000 individual split rings on each chain and unless you find someone with wayyyyyyyyyyyy to much time on there hands that will weld every one of them, you have 2000 potential places for that chain to bend open and or snap. They are a little more capable of getting tangled, I like this because it will actually lock in to place when doing tricks such as orbitals and hyperloops. Now the one major down fall to these chains is their strength. I have seen them being sold for as much as $500 a set. Next we will go with the decretive and ornate Chainmail, this is a beautiful but really expensive or time consuming option, I made mine and one chain took me about a week to finish granted I am no pro when it comes to this craft so it took me a little longer than it would most. It is easy to put together, very hard to tangle and for the most part very durable when in larger gauges. In my opinion this is a great option for beginners. First off we will start with Ball Chain it is the most commonly used chain for poi sold all put together. This is the part where we discuss chain, this could go on for days if I didn't narrow it down, so I will pick three that I have and have used to discuss the ups and downs.
