X4 on what demco99 said. Been using quick changes on my hoochie leaders since my commercial trolling days back in

Try these connectors to attach your swivel to the flasher. They are fast, easy and strong. Originally designed for tuna. Been using them for about 5 years. Hard to find, but awesome. I pre-tie all my hoochies with swivels and file them so I can change them out in seconds to cycle through the gear.

I find it very interesting that while reading this thread it seems most of you leave the swivel on the flasher and and just clip you leaders to that, while on this thread ( http://www.sportfishingbc.com/forum/showthread.php?20819-Tying-Tackle/page2&highlight=leader) everybody says cut everything off your flasher and put it all on the leader.
What about teaser heads do any of you put a swivel on the end of that? or do you just tie a loop and clip it onto the flasher?

Because of the twist of a teaser head.....I have a swivel at the lead end of the leader which attaches to a "quick change" snap which is on the trailing end of my flasher.
When I say "quick change snap"....I mean one of these " McRoscoe scissor snaps" as there are two products out there I have seen referred to as a quick change.
NOT...one of these which are also referred to as a "quick change" in some circles.

I always put a swivel on everything-even chovie heads-because I never know how I'm going to fish it-ie behind a flasher,above a dummy or shallow behind a banana weight on a centre rod. The only time I ever use loop knots is if I am in a big hurry and I usually don't fish like that. I have 3 to 4 anchovies already loaded in holders sitting in the brine-swivels just over the side of the brine container ready for a quick change and I find that happens quicker and smoother if I can see the swivel.

Heres another question for Hoochies
For a hoochies you can buy an insert or internal skirt which either has shinny stips of plastic or glow (http://silverhorde.com/twinkle.html). Do any of you use this kind of thing in a hoochie or is it not nessary?

Scotty used to make those-lots of commercial places still have boxes of them around.
I use twinkle skirts all the time. Also, I typically put a few beads in between the twinkle skirt and the first hook on the leader. I like the first hook of a 2-hook setup to just behind the back end of the skirt and the beads are simply spacers to get the hooks back farther. I believe (a word fishermen often use when they don't really know) that added flash from the twinkle skirts increases strikes.
