I put a swivel between the braided line and the 2-3 feet of florocarbon line I tie to the jig or lure. I always do this in waters that have sturgeon so that if I get snagged up and break off it is usually only the leader on the end of the swivel that breaks. This reduces the amount of line lost in the lake and helps out the sturgeon by cutting down on the loose line they may ingest while feeding on the bottom. It has been reported that the messes of fishing lines that sturgeon ingest has caused some mortality. In addition braided line is expensive and loosing a couple feet of floro is way better than 20-30 yards of expensive line.
