I've never had a problem getting the line tied to a swivel. I take the eye
up to my tongue and with my other hand I poke at the hole with the line
until I get it through which never takes me more than a few seconds. Then I
take the end of the line with my one hand, and with my index finger of the
other hand I rest it on the swivel holding it with my thumb and middle
finger. Then I wrap the end of the line around the line about a half dozen
times, then I take the end of the line and poke it through where my index
finger is and pull it tight. been doing it this way for 25 years. I do it
this way for hooks and lures too.
