Oh BTW , the trouble with using swivels is you can't use them as a true shock leader and even just as a fighting leader , the wear from casting occurs in the thinner running line. When wear is the failure mechanism , you want it to occur in the thicker line. So IMO its best to join a leader with a leader knot , not a swivel. i will admit its a lot easier with a swivel.
