I never use a swivel with Rapalas. I have used a bullet sinker with a built in swivel with a leader and Rapala trailing behind when trying to fish deeper water. Have had good luck on Smallmouth dropping this rig to the bottom with a small trout pattern floating rapala on a 3 to 4 foot leader, when bouncing this around on the retrieve it looks like a wounded minnow swimming just off the bottom, and I think the clinking noise of the sinker attracts fish.
