Barrel swivels on my tip ups, nothing on my jigging pole
Just say no to snap swivels! On tip-ups I use a quality barrel swivel to attach my main braided line to a mono leader...when jigging I tie lure directly to line. JMO
First off i hate having more terminal tackle than is needed on my rigs. i don't even use snaps on my musky leaders. however i started using a swivel on my jigging rod after watching my jig on an underwater camera. main reason is during the pause the jig ends up spinning. no matter how well you think you have your minnow hooked it is near impossible to keep the jig from rotating. it seems the fish rarely like that. i run the swivel about 12"-18" up from the jig. i feel my catch rate is better with the swivel.
