I'm surprised you are still fishing short leaders with swivels. That may be fine for eels, but if you are plugging have you tried an FG knot and 8-10 feet of fluoro? Position the knot between your first and second guide with the desired over hang. I think this setup has lots of advantages, although I like fluoro with it since it lasts longer than mono and retying the knot is a bit of a pain (about 5minutes worth).
