Spey Swivel?

Recommended Posts

I'm just in the process of putting together my first Spey setup and have seen some "Spey swivels" online that attach between the head and running line to help prevent twist.  Does anyone actually use these? and are they actually necessary?  I've got an Airflo Skagit Compact head and Airflo Super Dri running line if that makes a difference.  Thanks for any insight.

I tried a super-tiny swivel for a while, and didn't mind the extra weight while casting an Intermediate. Line twist was helped a bit, but the difficulty was the dreaded 'hinge' effect in the loop.

In the wind, the swivel was worse than a split-shot for nailing the rod and also the fisherman...My left ear can attest to this! BAM!
