I don't know about the snap swivel/ barrel swivel thing. We all have our opions in that area.
If you're fishing a lake with particularly clear water, the more ornaments you have attached to your gear, the less likely you are to catch fish.
If you want to attach a leader, say like Fluorocarbon, use an albright knot, not a swivel. Keep it simple, keep it natural, and keep it as light as possible. Tie your lure directly to the fluorocarbon. You'll find plenty that say this isn't necessary, but I beg to differ. Anything will catch fish when they are heavily feeding. When they are not, you need the most natural presentation you can rig up.
