This swivel only has rotational movement in one axis. The OEM swivel not only twists on the long axis but flexes angularly all around the compass. It was mentioned that originally earlier models didn’t have it. Probably added to reduce torsional and flexing stresses on the line (which can lead to line failure). This Phenix swivel may not be an acceptable substitute.

However this point doesn’t solve the original problem of a destroyed swivel. I wonder if Robair can do anything to save the original?

My previous search was the OEM are unobtainable at any price.

If you have no option but to try to use this swivel, I would watch the line movement during gear swing to see how things go and be prepared for brake failure in use.
