Do you ever have problems with your leader twisting up badly when streamer or popper fishing? I’ve started using really small barrel swivels to eliminate this problem. They work excellent. My favorite model is the 10/0 Tsunami Nickel Barrel Swivel for its small size, strength, and durability.
For my streamer fishing I tie a 3-4 inch section of 30lb. Fluorocarbon from my Sinking or Floating line to my swivel, then attach the leader to the fly.

When I’m fishing with poppers I choose to attach the barrel swivel about 14-16″ in front of the fly. Poppers are notorious for leader twisting especially when your using smaller tippet. Best of all you don’t waste leaders because all you have to do is change out the tippet from the swivel to the fly.
