G'day Kev

Pity. I'm a whingeing pomm migrant and was hoping to pick up a few tips

I had the pleasure of watching fishomania on foxtel recently, never
seen so much excitement over someone catching a carp

such as do folks use a swivel on their terminal tackle when fishing
lures and squidgees?

I haven't done a lot of lure fishing although I own about 10 million
of them. When I do toss a lure about it's usually a mr twister and I
never use a swivel as I've found it tends to kill the action and
sometimes the lure gets caught on the swivel during the cast.. The
only time I've used a swivel with a lure is on spinning lures that
otherwise twist the line into a birdsnest and they have to be decent
quality ball bearing type swivel, the average everyday swivels don't
seem to work well enough. I have heard of people who use swivels with
clips for quick changing of lures but it only takes a minute or 2 to
tie one on and I don't trust those clips to hold a decent fish.
