: This guy I think his handle is Art What! recommends using a swivel when fly lining a mack. I think this is a great idea, because many times in the past I’ve had a mack twist my line up to the point were I had to cut several feet off. Can anybody come up with a reason why not to use a snap swivel when fly lining large bait fish like mackerel?Thanks~john

I agree with Andy on his point about weak link on added knots. I may add that with out the swivel the bait will act as natural as possible when trolled slowly. You should check the condition of the bait every once a while to make sure it is lively and free of debris and line is not twisted. Any sign if line twisting is a tell tale to change the bait or you're doing something wrong.
