Right now I use the Lindy style 1/2 and 3/4oz weights with the bendable loop on 10/4 fire line with a swivel, then attach my snell or spinner to the swivel. I see they make a couple different kinds of on/off devices for attaching weights to the line, as to change weight sizes while fishing. What are the better ways to do this?

I just put a snap on my line above the barrel swivel for my weight when I know there is a good chance I’ll have to change weights throughout the day. The same snaps I use for blade baits actually.
From the rod…. Snap with sinker, 4mm bead, barrel swivel, leader, 4mm bead, hook.

Sometimes they do spin (twist up), they do make a longer version that I can only guess may reduce the spin.

Bite line off swivel. Put on different sinker. Tie line back on swivel.

I’m with you on this. I don’t change out weights all that often. When I do, I’m generally changing out rigs as well. Doesn’t take all that long.
