Default Drop Shot with a swivel?

I seriously twist my line while d-shotting.

Would a swivel above everything help?
Would it hurt the action when I shake the bait?

I try retrieving slowly but it still twists.

Yes it helps, all but eliminates it totally

Not with any baits I've used

The twist is coming from the way you have placed the hook through the
lure, a lot of it can be stopped by carefully aligning the lure on the
hook (with most lures)
