I'd never use a wire leader with a husky jerk, they are to light and it messes with the presentation. They also blow out on a faster retrieve.
You can use x-raps with a wire leader though, or flat raps for that matter.
I wish Rapala would re-make the husky jerk to weigh more and retrieve more like the two mentioned above. Also the casting sucks with a husky jerk if your shore fishing.

I have always used snap swivels as it allows for quick lure changes. Ditto on keeping things simple.

depends on what type of fish to catch. I use swivel for catching salmon, but for a bass and other pan fish, I directly tied to the lure. If its for musky or pike, swivel with wire leader. I've had lots of line cut off without using wired leader.
