I used to fish jointed plugs all the time. Never had a problem with them breaking on a big fish.

But then one season it seemed like the fish just turned off the jointed plugs in favor of solid plugs. I know it doesn't make any logical sense but that's what seems to have happened. And I haven't used joined plug since.

ps- A caster once told me to only use jointed plugs in a current, not in calm or rough waters. He said it's because the jointed plug will bend at the joint and give the impression of a bent-back or humped-back bait. And that's not natural.
