GO for size 8/10 for snoods.
Size 2's for top of rigs.
Use rolling not barrel swivels.

Size 12, breaking strain 30 lb
Size 10, breaking strain 45 lb
Size 9, breaking strain 70 lb

You use crane I see.

I use rolling...what's the difference?
I knew barrel were not that good but can't distinguish between the other two.

Rolling swivels are alot neater and smaller for the BS. I don't know why though.
