    Swivels on spoons

    Going to start playing with spoons a little more. Will be throwing a 1/2 or 3/4 Cotton Cordell jigging spoon the most. Which swivel do you guys like and what size for 1/2 or 3/4 spoons that come without a swivel?

    I think it depends on who is using it.
    I was told by a pretty predominate spoon guy around here that he does not want a swivel on his spoon as he wants it to twist as its falling.
    Me I use one when I do throw them but I am by far a great guy with a spoon.
    About the only thing extra I do to them is add a stinger hook with a small loop of braid to the top eye with a small circle hook like a drop shot hook.

    I throw those as well. You guys mostly keep it simple and just throw chrome?
