You fellers who are having trouble with line twist when using in-line spinner baits like Mepps and Rooster tails - try an old lure called the Shyster that is now made by Luhr-Jensen and you can buy them on line. Back when this lure first came out - I think it was in the late 1950's or early 60's we discovered that it has a different - offset line tie that will not let your line twist. It is also great for fishing where there is little or no current, as the blade spins real easy. We used them for Smallmouth Bass and Crappies in the rivers and creeks in southern Michigan and had real good luck with them - especially the white model with black dots. It was deadly. and it can be fished real slow.
I also have used real small- black- ball bearing snap swivels with the Mepps spinners and it never seemed to make a difference to the fish. I have never used Rooster tails for some reason - probably because I never needed to. Always caught plenty of fish on the Mepps and Shyters.
