Hey chrome22, it was a pleasure to meet ya and I look forward to some springer slayin' on the shush-shush river just like last season! Enjoy the hooks, they were 3/0 but remember Vision hooks are roughly a half size smaller. As for the swivels sorry size 11 were all I had for samples on me today! I would recomend using size 7 for most salmon and steelhead aplications. All of our swivels are interlocking at this point, sometime in the near future we are planing on adding a straight snap for the slinky junkies! But as you saw on my rods today the interlock will still work great with slinkies. Bob will be selling all-star rods as his high-end rod for the serious fishermen, exactly when I don't know yet. They are super rods at a great value! Comparable to a GL-3 in feel, sensativity, and durabilty at a fraction of the cost. If you are serious about a all-star I have a few you could demo. You have my card call me and we can talk.
