Yo-Yo Iron question

[bennye]

I bought some new irons for tomorrow 3/4 day out of seaforth. Can I use a snap swivel or should I tie the irons right to the line?

[F15hK1ll3r]

Always tie strait to line, well at least that what ive been taught..

[JTAP]

No swivel, just tie it.

swivels are for those people on the east coast who cant hang with the westside.

go ask tred barta which swivels he prefers, im sure he uses a lot of them.

Tie em straight to the iron.

Swivels will negatively effect the action of the jig...tie direct for better swimming action and more bites.

Not only that I had a Yellowtail inhale a 4/0 Tady and was able to work open the swivel during the fight, bye-bye fish and jig :104167739 It didn't pay to be in a hurry and grab just any rod and throw a jig on
The only reason I know this happened is because the next fish in the boat was taken on another 4/0 Tady and we couldn't even see the knot, swallowed completely Surgery was needed to recover the jig.

Tie it with a double San Diego every time....

When I target cow yellowfin on the iron (PL68) like the fish in my avatar I tie a bimini to a double uni using 100 pound...the strongest connection there is.
