Time to get some more swivel snaps for trolling Rapala’s with Fire Line. What size and kind do you use? They make a snap swivel, Cross Lock and a Duo-lock. The snap come in a rounded lock style and a more triangle snap.
#2 locking snap for me. No swivels needed.
#3 snaps offer a little wider wobble,but 75% of the time#2 no swivel for me.
Number 2 duo locks snaps for this guy. Use them on all my cranks and blades 
No swivel needed.
I was thinking #10 a #2 must be huge. But I will check it out. Thanks
Yep #2 crosslocks are perfect size and strenght.
Can’t go wrong with #2 Crosslocks. I hear Eric Rehberg uses them. (Don’t tell anyone on the internet!) Seriously, that’s what I go w/ day in and day out.
Does using a swivel have a negative affect? I have been using snap swivels every time I have trolled.
I think it does. There’s no need for the swivel. Swivels are designed to reduce line twist caused when lures spin in the water. Crankbaits don’t spin. If they do… you’ve got some tuning to do. 
Here’s a refresher on tuning cranks. ‘Tis the season with all the night trolling going on. Like I always tell guide customers… success is all about having a properly tuned lure and trolling speed.

I thought that was top secert news and now you told everyone 
oh thats right I already did 
Like James mentioned I see no need a for a swivel. If using a swivel it gives the lure more of a chance to twist to the sides causing it to run out of line or start running out to the sides. If that happens you arent catching fish. No need for them and you will save a little money with just the snaps.
In that situation ONLY it is nessasary 
By the way that was suppose to be top secret too
