With the ones I use, even at .8 mph, the spoon flutters and flips every so often kind of like a crankbait action where a normal spoon does not do anything till you get to higher speeds. Same model spoon. I don't use snaps swivels on mine but you could. To me it's just more hardware and it only takes a minute or so to redo the complete setup out on the water. One of my friends uses all snap swivels as he prefers to stores his in boxes, all the spoons in one box the hooks/beads in another.
