Like what was mentioned...the action of the rapala shouldn't cause any line twist at all, so really there's no need for a swivel anywhere at all. However, if you've got the swivel 5-6ft away from the lure, that shouldn't do anything to the action of the bait, so id you insist on using the swivel where you are, I'm sure it wouldn't hurt any...but I don't think it's really doing you any good either. When people say not to use a swivel when using a rapala, they mean don't snap your rapala on directly to your snap swivel. That will hurt the action of the bait...
