It seems to me that although the swivel might get fouled with seaweed, it would also tend to keep that salad from sliding all the way down and fouling the bait.

(I, like Janine, have always been a mono angler, and sometimes use a snap swivel to attach a mono or floro leader. It certainly makes it easier and faster to try different gear without taking a billion different rods.)

three way swivel

Spectra to swivel
Mono/flouro to swivel & sinker
Mono/flouro to swivel & hook






Drop shot or dropper loop

Spectra to swivel
swivel to mono/flouro

or

spectra to mono/flouro using albright knot

I don't really have a preference on this one, sometimes I use a swivel and sometimes I don't.


I'm not a big fan or snap swivels so I don't use them much on my fishing rods but I do use them on my sabiki stick
