Swivel vs. No Swivel: Soft Plastic LURE ACTION TEST (Underwater Test!)

Are you using swivels with your soft plastic lures? You might be hurting your lure's action and catching fewer fish! In this video, Tony from Salt Strong puts swivels to the test to see if they truly affect the performance of popular soft plastics like paddle tails and finesse twitch baits. ➡️ WATCH NOW to discover: (0:00) The common theory: Do swivels absorb your rod's action, making your soft plastic lures less effective? (0:40) The Lures Tested: We're using the Slim Shady 2.0 paddle tail and the Polk County Tweaker (a finesse twitch bait) to see how swivels impact different lure types. (1:14) Do You Even NEED a Swivel with Soft Plastics? We discuss proper rigging to prevent line twist without a swivel. (2:14) UNDERWATER TEST: Swivel vs. No Swivel - Straight Retrieve. See the minimal impact on paddle tail action. (2:27) UNDERWATER TEST: Swivel vs. No Swivel - Bouncing/Twitching Retrieve. This is where things get interesting! Notice how the swivel impacts the lure's bounce and height off the bottom. (2:59) The Polk County Tweaker Test: Similar results observed with finesse baits – the swivel can dampen that critical twitching action. (3:09) The Verdict: Find out exactly how a swivel can subtly (but significantly) change your lure's presentation and why it matters for getting more bites. Many anglers believe swivels are essential for preventing line twist when fishing with soft plastic lures, but our underwater footage reveals a different story, especially when you're trying to impart specific actions like bouncing or twitching. While swivels might not drastically change a straight retrieve, the subtle dampening effect on more dynamic retrieves could be the difference between a strike and a fish just swimming by. We also touch on a key disadvantage: you can't reel a swivel through your rod guides, which can impact casting and landing fish. 🔗 Get the Lures & Gear Shown in This Video: https://www.saltstrong.com/articles/h...
