How do you attach a Fishing Swivel with Snap to your fishing line or leader?

Attaching a Fishing Swivel with Snap to your fishing line or leader is a straightforward process. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Select the Right Swivel: Ensure you have the appropriate Fishing Swivel with Snap for your fishing needs, considering factors like line strength and the type of fish you're targeting.

Gather Your Materials: You'll need the Fishing Swivel with Snap, your fishing line or leader, and any additional terminal tackle you plan to use (e.g., hooks, lures).

Thread the Line: Pass the end of your fishing line or leader through the eye of the swivel. You can do this from either the bottom or top of the swivel, depending on your preference.

Tie an Improved Clinch Knot (Common Method):

Make 5-6 wraps of the line around itself, just above the swivel eye.
Pass the tag end of the line through the small loop created near the swivel eye.
Wet the knot with water or saliva to lubricate it.
Pull both the tag end and the main line slowly and evenly to tighten the knot.
Trim the tag end close to the knot, leaving no excess.
Attach Terminal Tackle (if needed): If you're using additional terminal tackle like hooks or lures, attach them to the free end of the swivel's snap using a similar knot or attachment method.

Test Your Knot: Before casting or fishing, give your knot a gentle tug to ensure it's secure. A well-tied knot is critical to prevent losing fish due to a line break.

Inspect the Setup: Examine your entire rig to make sure everything is securely attached and there are no twists or tangles in the line or leader.

Bait and Cast: Add bait or lures to your setup as needed, and you're ready to cast your line into the water.

By following these steps, you can securely attach a Fishing Swivel with Snap to your fishing line or leader, which helps reduce line twist and allows for easy attachment and removal of terminal tackle.
