No. Most lure manufacturesrecommendyou tie your line directly to the lure. The addition of a swivel adds an additional point of failure on your terminal tackle and some people choose not to use it. Also the addition of a swivvel can change the weight, characteristics and performance of the lures. If you do you aswiveltry to match it to the size of the lure being used. Using a 100lb swivel for lures meant to catch panfish (0.5-6 lbs) is an example of mismatched tackle.
All that being saidmanypeople prefer thesimplicityof being able tosnaplureson and off without having to retie multiple times. This is especially handy if you do not have the luxury of having many fishing rods pre-tied with specific lures.
The prime purpose of a swivel is to reduce or eliminate line twist, caused by retrieving a rotating lure. Some lures are much worse tha others for casing line twist - Devon Minnows are perhaps the worst example, though a very popular lure amongst anglers targetting salmon.
You don't 'need' a swivel - but it can be extremely prudent.

How can you attach a sling to a Browning 2000 shotgun?
One has two options, in both cases, a rear swivel stud can be used, but not absolutely needed: 1. The age-old tie method - tie fore end sling to bbl and either tie or attach to swivel at butt-ed. 2. The B-2000 forearm cap is a machined gas port. To add a sling swivel cap, one needs a cap with swivel/port accommodation. Not easy to find, but there are a few makers out there.

How do you assemble a fish hook clasp?
A fish hook clasp is commonly referred to as a snap. At one end the snap works like a safety pin allowing you to open it slide in a hook or the eye ring on a lure and then close it. The are many different types of snaps but they all effectively work like a safety pin. They pop open and snap shut again. The other end of the snap either has a swivel (which allows the hook or lure to spin without imparting and twist onto the fishing line; needed for lures like spinners). or just an eyelet. These are used to tie the snap to your fishing line. The snap allows you to interchange your hooks and lures quickly and easily without having to re-tie. Though convenient many fishermen prefer to tie directly to hooks for better performance of the lure. Also note that snaps come in different sizes and you should buy the size that matches the weight of your line and the size of your target fish. Again, this will help performance of the lure.
