But think about it would the swivel under tension be able to swivel?
Not to do with a spin doctor but I had a conversation with someone about this and he said it doesn't matter how good a swivel is, it wouldn't do it's job if it's under tension, it would just lock up. The path of least resistance is the line which would twist before the swivel?
Not bothered proving it myself but what do others think?

You need to figure out why your getting the twist and eliminate it rather than deal with the consequences mate.

that depends on how much tension and how much force the spin doctor applies. lures on swivels still spin

You're probably right but thought it was worth a mention

Do you mean bait boating your rig out or when you're out in a boat?
