What's some options on good swivels, tried quite a few including spro and other supposedly top brands and not real happy with any. Shouldn't have the line twist on the leader like I'm seeing.

I do not use a swivel, I use the Carolina Keepers... 2 underneath the weight then one above the weight. The only down side to the keepers are that some of them will not stay tight on your line and will slide down when the weight hits it. Thus using 2 under the weight.

I use the Spro swivels too. What bait are you using that gives you the twist?

SPro swivels are plenty good. Make sure you are rigging your bait on the hook correctly.

I’ve been using the pre rigged Carolina setup from 6th Sense. What little I use it it seems to work well.

Just got the stuff to start using C rigs. I got the Spro power swivels and they seem to be of good quality. Also got some "Carolina Keepers"

Chipped beads are normally where your line breaks. I’ve never had any issues with swivels at all. And I’m throwing 1oz weights most the time.
