Hey Patrick. I prefer a swivel as I don't have much confidence in my line to line knots. However, in your brother's case I don't think it would have made any difference. If my line is going to fail anywhere its going to be the floro knot at the swivel. With the load of an angry yellow, no stretch spectra and maxed out drags, something has to give. Was he using your Newell?
