    Going to try this to see if it helps with line twist. Didn’t take long to do. [​IMG]

    You’re gonna lose some “float” out of it I think, which is kinda the purpose of the slow death/smile rig (Oahe rig)… IMO, you’d be better off doing one of two things, either tie the swivel ahead of the blade/beads, or buy a better quality swivel and use at your bouncer connection… I do the latter…
