Let me start by saying that i have not thrown the nomad topwaters, but many others. I tie a high quality ball bearing swivel to my fluorocarbon leader. I then have a split ring on all of my poppers so i can change it out lures easily. Don't use a snap swivel but a regular swivel. Just be sure to use high quality split rings. I use this setup to cast topwaters to yellowfin tunas.
