I have just started drop shotting and I am a big fan, but I do have one concern; line twist. I heard that tying a barrel swivel to the line before tying the hook/knot can prevent this. Do any of the pros do this or will it have a major effect on how

sure you can do it but the problem people have with putting a swivel up above hooks and weights is that in the heat of a battle they forget it's there and try to wind it through the guides. Most of the time on deeper water I use a double tie on weight
