Where's the "None" choice. More terminal tackle=more chance for failure... Line-leader Leader-Hook..Done. Trust ur knots. Never had a failure that way..Swivels break and Snaps open up..No need IMO.

I use the bigger Kroks. I like having a big swivel to aim for when I reach for the leader to guide a fish onto the rocks.
The bigger Breakaway clip on the other end for jigs.
Plugs--either a Coastlock 34 or tie direct.
If I'm free drifting chunks, I use a swivel even with conventional. In current, the chunk will "helicopter" and not drift naturally if you don't use a swivel.

Mike, what size Breakaway do you use for the Jigs? I can't seem to squeeze them on the 80lb. ones |

The biggest ones. I guess they're the 80s 
They're best used on jigs that have the thin brass hook eye, like the old Ku-Jig Canal special type. Sometimes, certain brands of the Smilin' Bill heads have a very thick eye that makes using any kind of snap hard. If I have to use a jig like that, I tie direct with a loop knot.
Don't be misled by the thin appearance of those clips. I know guys who put incredible pressure on fish into the 40s in that honking current, and who have total confidence in that thing. I used them for the first time last season, all year, and they're still batting 1.000. No failures, not even a hint of damage. |

No. 34 coastlock.
