Can i use a swivel to connect my homemade rig to my main line?

Question

if i can't what can i do to connect my rig to my main line?

Answer 1

ive used a swivel with no problem casting 6oz weight sea fishing from the shore, there definatly worth using but make sure you use a stronge enough one

Answer 2

Yes, just ensure you tie your knots correctly and it should help to eliminate line twist.  

Answer 3

I'll use a snap swivel if I'm using premade rigs... It saves alot of tyeing time when I'm at the fishing hole.

I'll use a regular 30# swivel and a bead when I'm not using premade rigs to prevent line twisting, and for sliding sinker setups.

Answer 4

Absolutely, then your rig will have a less chance of twisting up.

Good Fishing...

Answer 5

Yes it is a good idea to use braided line for the leader though.

Answer 6

yes mate use a link swivel,it makes it easier to change your mane rig good luck.

Answer 7

The use of a swivel is my recommendation. That will have one advantage of preventing line twist. I don't suggest a "snap" swivel because they add size with little real advantage.
