I have to admit, that I feel a bit guilty when I get lazy, and quit tying lures directly to my line, and then just go with a swivel (I look around first, to make sure that no "real fishermen" are in the area to see this faux pas.)

So... I want honest answers here:
Do you ever use swivels or quick connectors?
Will I get kicked out of this group, just for posing the question? 😳😁

Depending if I am going to cast a lot of lures that day or not, I will only bring along 1-3 lure rods. So, for me I change lures often, and to keep the line twist at a minimum, I use Crane swivel with fast-lock snap. The size I use is #7, color black, it’s small without a lot of metal, but strong at 55# test. They do make smaller sizes too.

It's all about the bonus of catching for me Gene.

So YES, is my answer and no worries of being kicked out. We do what we must to put a meal on the table.
