Yes - I do the same when going for Channel Cats. (30# Brass swivels). Or in the salt.

Otherwise in freshwater I feel that a swivel just adds unneeded knots that may fail, and a hang up point for weeds and debris.

I may use a SNAP-swivel with big spinners.

But - I note that using a snap swivel on many "plugs" actually destroys the action....... Ponder this - If a snap and/or a swivel improved action - it would be part of the lures as sold.
