Sampo

Sampo, Inc. was established in 1948 by Oney Johnson in Daly City, California. An avid angler, Johnson had for years been devising a way of preventing line twist. His introduction of ball bearing swivels would change the face of fresh and salt water fishing forever. Sampo (Finnish for "wonderful thing") swivels were soon the rage of the fishing fraternity and continue to reign as the world's number one manufacturer of premium quality swivels.
