I now use 30 lb to hunt girls.

I've had swivels open or pull straight a few times too. The wire that snaps the swivel is typically bent 90 degrees, bend it down further. When it's closed, it'll take much more to straighten it out. I do that simple fix to all my swivels now, never had one let go since.
40 pound braid, 30 pound leaders when there's a chance at bigger pike now.
