hey guys.  sorry for the newb questions, but how do you guys tie on a spinnerbait or a buzz bait to your line?  i had some buddies say use a snap swivel, and that usually has a tendency to get all funky on my midcast (probably thinking maybe tie the line directly onto it).  any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

also if you guys have any other suggestions for other lures feel free to post, hopefully this thread can be started for other beginners too.  thanks guys  

I use Palomar knots for 99.99% of my lures.

if your using mono, do a noose knot directly to the spinnerbait. for braid i would do a palomer. for other lures, take a look at all the new and old posts in the fishing tackle section. ive never used a swivel for a spinnerbait though

Yep, the Palomar is the one to use. It's fast and strong.
