[QUOTE="chrispbrown27, post: 431376, member: 9661"] I used to run trotlines all the time. Had a decent sized river right up the road and kept the freezer full. I didn't care for swivels because if I got a big fish on there was a chance he would either break the swivel or cut the line. I preferred to make a loop for my drop and the tie two knots up near the main line. Then run the loop through the hook eye and down over the hook. This way you can also remove the hook without having to cut the line. Only problem with this is if you use a lively bait (goldfish always produced best for me and stayed alive for weeks) they would sometimes get hung up in the drop line. [/QUOTE]
