I like to keep the hooks as tite to the belly as I can get. I don't like them swinging in the breeze like a cows utter.....I have no problems with a cut hook on plugs. I keep a loose drag.

my thought is the hook hole in the plug is put in a spot where it belongs. if you put a swivel in that hangs way down an then a split ring then the hook. the hook winds up in the back of the plug an no where near the hole where it belongs.
