Plugs like Gibbs, Super Strike etc come with cut hooks(usually Mustads, but thats a different story) and other makers such as Tattoo and Hab's use the uncut hook(usually VMC but again another story)with a split ring. Now I know this makes teh hook stronger and more corrosion resistant, but it also makes the hooks hang lowere(even though the VMCs have a shorter shank).

Any opinons on this? Thanks.
