I got to thinking...
I was just reading Flaptails "your gonna hate me post" and something NIB said got me thinking. Heres part of his quote regarding sealed plugs:

So I'm thinking, has anyone done a sealed plug with hook hangers and added an external swivel to the belly hanger?

I think with a small extra strong swivel (krok) you could probably hide the top part of the swivel and seal that, leaving the barrel and lower loop exposed...

RI, thats exactly what Im thinking. With the smaller size of some of the "hi-end" swivels like kroc or spro, I dont think it would change the distance much more than adding a split ring to the hanger.

This is how the Rebel jawbreakers were built, with a ballbearing swivel no less.

Cotton Cordell Pencil Poppers are made that way to this day. Loaded with bird shot and sealed they make excellent Canal plugs and cheap too!
