Then on the free end of the 1 foot piece of line, tie directly to the spoon. It will spin freely but wont twist your line. You can tie a snap swivel directly to the line and then clip it to the spoon. Lots of people do this, but I think finicky trout get bothered by the snap swivel. Just me tho.

This reminds me...you need to learn some fishing knots for monofilament line. If you try to tie a standard square knot or something the knot will either slip or the line will cut through itself.
The most useful for connecting the line to a hook or lure is the Trilene Knot.
