I've been trying combinations. For years I always used a swivel but this year I've been hooked lures right to the string. If you're fishing for Pike with a bigger lure and heavier line then a leader might be a good idea. For bass, they don't seem bothered by a swivel and 6 or 8 lb line should be fine. Heck, you can catch bass with 4 lb line but I started using heavier line due to snags in rivers like the Passaic and Raritan.
