I use black lock snap swivels on every thing I throw at them. My size #12 Black swivel is rated 15 lb. strenth. I use black because I feel that the color will not take away from my presentation.
I have always used a snap swivel for 2 primary reasons:
Keep line twist from causing a spider's nest and ruining my day
Easily change to another spoon or spinner, to quickly find what the fish are hitting
My fav's are the Kastmaster, & Little Cleo for spoons and spinners is Rooster Tails
BTW, I use BLACK swivels, but they connect directly to the spoon / spinner being used
So - curious - with your snap swivel on the end of the leader connected directly to the lure, how do you tie the leader to your mainline? Clinch knots on a 2nd swivel? Or just line-to-line with a surgeon's or some other knot?
