What set up do you use so you can change lures quickly with out having to re-tie?

I like to tie, less gear in the water for finicky fish.

Something to be aware of is Kingfish will expose cheap or worn terminal tackle (aswell as poorly tied knots) I have seen lures lost due to split rings opening up while on fish.

For GT's I used a swivel and split ring if I was using a twisted leader, but keeping a keen eye on the condition of the ring.

If changing out a lot, grommet to split ring. Note that this won't swim some lures as well thou. More stuff = more movement and less direct contact with the lure.
