I have best luck not using snap swivels for spinners on small steams fishing for smaller trout . Using spinners like panther martins tend to twist lines and it helps to use them . At night I don't think they mind as much . I'll use them for quick change to find the size they are hitting on at night on the rivers .Lot easier than tying knots at night . It all depends on the fish too !! I like the ones that lock like mention before and the good ones with the ball bearing . I only use them for spinners and some lures /crank baits . Never on jigs . Knots I use the clinch knot , but that is what i'm use to because I use to fly fish alot with the tiny flies . Pretty much can ty that one in my sleep . Should get in to the habit of doing the improved clinch and palomar knot for fusion line . tight lines and may you're knots hold up !!
