And don't bother with the Nickel Titatanium stuff either not worth the high price either.
Up to November will give you plenty of time to pre-rig your flies and learn how to make the haywire twist and break of the tag so that it doesnt leave a sharp bit to stick you when you least expect it. The method I use to accomplish this is to follow the description in Lefty Kreh's Fly Fishing Knots and Connections pg118

This is just my opinion on the water but small swivels sometimes form a bubble trail in the current or when fighting a better sized fish, being bitten of by a rat is even more frustrating than the torn up flies, kinked wire and 50% drop.
I Use to think like you, until I did a trip to Jozini, where the fish DID NOT TOUCH flies on normal Piano wire, every single fish came out on the coated wire.
