Torquay .....with my reputation??
If it is float fishing use a micro swivel
for feeder fishing you can go a little bigger but whatever method try to balance the size of swivel to the line breaking strain and diameter . I use the type that does not have coiled wire either end of the barrel .

Preston Innovation Mini Match Swivels are the ones i use for my Float Fishing.
They come in Size 20, 22 and 24 the 24 being the smallest and the 20 being the Largest, you can use the Larger size for General Feeder fishing, but i would recommend using a larger stronger swivel for Carp Feeder or Method Feeder fishing.
