i run braid, so i run a barrel swivel from the braid, to about a 2 1/2 foot leader with a duo lock on it...

never once had an issue...

i will use spoons like the P Line and Pentac's out of the package with the swivels, but dont need all them honestly as i have never had an issue whatsoever..

just a, if it aint broke, dont fix it, type thing...
