That's awesome.
About the knot and swivel. Rapala type lures are not meant to be tied with a tight knot. I use a loop knot or there is a Rapala Knot that is supposed to be used on the lures. Like you noticed with the swivel, this will give the lure the action that it is meant to have. Swivels will work too, but I think it adds too much unnecessary stuff to the lure.
