Been doing a lot of drop shotting lately and using the drop shot sinkers with the swivel and line clip but have been getting all sorts of line twist. I now use a mojo type sinker cause had some...any slip sinker would work...and at the end of the line I tie on a small snap swivel...line twist is gone and you have the snap to slip onto your hook keeper or guide when stowing the rod.
On some of the drop shot swivels I aquired from a friend (hand poured), the swivel was froze up due to either being placed too low or lead inside them. If I use a frozen one, I get bad twist, if I use a good one, I get minimal twist. So, check your swivels.

You could also use a Bitsy Bug jig available at Wally World as a weight. It doesn't twist and will occasionally pick up a bass along the way. Just make sure the jig is small and comparatively weedless.
