I recently started using spoons such as the ACME Kastmaster and other
various spoons. What have you all found best; putting a snap swivel in line
or tying the line directly to the lure ? I have noticed a small amount of
line twist without the swivel. Another thought was to install a split ring
and barrel swivel to my spoons to keep the hardware length to a minimum. How
have been your applications?

Thanks,

I can't speak for freshwater fishing, everything which follows applies
to my sal****er experience.

Big spoons - snap swivel. Needs to be strong enough to handle the fish,
though most of the time I purchased pre-made wire leaders with the snap
swivel already on it.

Small spoons - I would get many more hits without the swivel, better
action also. Never had a real problem with major line twist.
