Screw has less movement and is a risk with softer baits . . . .do use them for barbel however (double baits on a long screw with paste etc) as I'm not casting as far / changing hookbaits more frequently and its less agg on short sessions etc

Swivel all the way for me. Screw limits you to a single bait plus more movement in the swivel

Screw for pop-ups and wafters. Swivel for snowman style.

Why not both?

I've started using a bait screw that has a small swivel attached as I wanted more bait movement and had no issues so far 😁👍 Bank Tackle sell them.

Micro ring, I’ve had a bait screw come apart on the cast which has knocked my confidence.

Micro swivel personally, just allows a bit more movement I feel.

What's everyone's preference when tying a D rig, incorporating either a metal bait screw or a micro swivel.
