Default Sampo snap swivels what size for 15-20lb bluefish rig

Please help with size for swivels to fish 12-20 pound test. It's been a while and I ordered some rated for 30 lb test and they were tiny. Looks like it would be good for 2-4 pound test. I think they were Size 1. I ordered them by phone no picture etc.... So I don't screw up this order what is the correct size again for 15-20 pound test fishing for blue fish
thanks

Size 3,4,5 ?

I don't know about the sizes, but they should be rated for a weight like you originally explained. I would say anything over 80lb will be well suited. I just use my tuna ones for them which are 165lb. Better to err on the side of too heavy IMO.

I've always used #3L for most all fishing, exc offshore. Too heavy a swivel ruins the action of the lure or bait.

Go to Sampo's website and pick out the right one for you www.sampoinc.com/sa_spr_locksnap.htm
