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.

Abstract: A swivel for coupling a fishing line to a lure and having a body from opposite ends of which extend rotatable connectors respectively adapted for removable connection to the line and the lure. The body has a cavity between its ends into which the connectors extend and each connector is supported in a removable journal in latching engagement with the body. Each connector is separably secured to a retainer which restrains axial movement of the connector.
