[QUOTE="KDM, post: 71295, member: 314"] I use a small enough swivel that I can reel it through the tip. I sure don't make it a habit mind you, but I haven't chipped or broken a tip guide yet. If I do, I'll probably replace it with a titanium tip and press on. Current and the egg beater retrieve of an open faced reel seem to have a special way of twisting the crap out of the line and the swivel helps relieve that. 1/8th oz jigs and line twist is a very frustrating combo when trying to cast. In fact, line twist is just about the most frustrating part of fishing for me. It leads to so many fun and time consuming activities like "Rats Nest Remedy 101" and "Line Behind the Spool Sports 102". Not to mention the "Flying Ball of Braid" that tightens down a bit more as it goes through EACH LINE GUIDE and takes a needle, a microscope, and a better set of eyes than I have to figure out. GOD I LOVE THAT ONE!!! Crap, now I need a DRINK. Happy New Year!!!!! [/QUOTE]
