Why don't you use a swivel?

Seems like a lot of work...

It's no more work then using a swivel as it's the same exact number of knots, it's cheaper then a swivel as the tubing is cheap and each chunk costs maybe a penny at best, it is smaller than a swivel and it's clear so it does not show up as much and is less visible to the fish, it doesn't oxidize like a swivel and because it has some length to it (tube verses ring) it is also less likely to tangle.

I mean to each their own, far be it from me to tell others what to do, I'm just showing what has worked for me.
