I don't know what seal billy uses for a swivel, but I never use one on spinners�every 3rd or 4th cast I need to let out about 4 ft. of line and let the thing 'unwind' as it were, but I haven't found a swivel that will get me the quick starting speed I need on the spinner. ( The majority of my fishing is fishing upstream, retrieving with the current so getting the spin started can be problematic�)

Power Pro w/Palomar knot. Floro 100# leader 10-12" tied to welded ring/swivel crosslock w/Miller knots for toothy fish (musky). Power Pro is tough.

Sorry I didn't reply sooner. I use regular barrel swivels. Spro makes a small bearing swivel that is available in barrel swivel sizes, gonna try those. If I use a barrel swivel I only tie a leader 12" - 18" so you don't have 4 foot of line hanging off you rod tip when trying to cast. You can still have some line twist but way less than if you didn't use one.
Try a 1/4 oz. joes flie. killer on river smallies!

I just changed the line on my 8ft crappie jig rod from 6 lb Trilene XL to 12 lb Nano-Fill. Having fished it twice now I think I am going to like it. 1/16th ounce jigs work just as well, I can feel the thump just fine and I can straighten the hook instead of breaking off when snagged. I have to fish it more before being fully convinced, but so far so good.
