When I was just back in MA from MD in the early 2000's and still a rookie at striped bass one late October day I caught a shad at west wall across from short wall. Quickly replaced lure with a big hook on the same swivel and live lined the shad. Soon line was peeling off and when I tried to turn fish the swivel straightened. My first big fish lost due to pilot error. Drag too tight, swivel vs knot for hook connection. I assume more folks use shad but don't seem to advertise it.
