For me, the reason I use a swivel is the ease of switching lures. I rig my lures the same way you do with several feet of leader and have rarely had a problem. I find that as long as I check my knots every time that I change lures I don't have a problem with my line breaking because of the extra knots. Because I spend a lot of time fishing for wipers I learned to check my knots after each fish is caught. For me it is just quicker to have my lures tied with leader ready to go, that way I spend less time with out a lure in the water. WH2
