swivels on leads/feeders

Just wondering if its necessary to have swivels on feeders and leads, could the swivel make them more prone to snagging?
Regards
 
When was the last time you saw a feeder twisting the line? If the lead is in one quadrant it cannot possibly spin. Same goes for hooklengths too, unless the diameter is very low and the hookbait makes it twist.
