Hello, Looking for a source for swivel hooks for the cargo end of a 100 foot line for a Robinson R44. I am new to the Robinson R44, but I am used to using a swivel hook at the end of the line when longlining. Often lifting unusual loads that have a tendency to twist so a swivel is important. This thing is for personal chores so I don't want to spend thousands of dollars on remote hooks and such. Hopefully someone will have a lead on where to pick up simple swivels good enough for 800 pounds. Thanks much.
