Loop to loop for me, apart from the heavier gear for barbel, when it's a swivel. Not because I think it's stronger; a swivel provides a stop for the bead that stops the heavier leads that are often involved. I've had line break anywhere and everywhere else, but never once at either mainline loop or hooklength loop. I've used micro-swivels in place of the last shot on running water, but I'm not sure how much they help reduce spin, as that's also affected by the bait you use, how you mount it and how you retrieve.
Anyone tried this? The angler associated with it (not **** Walker, this time) has impeccable credentials
