I would never use cut hooks, they are cut bent open then bent closed, this leaves a hair line crack in the hook. put those hooks on, use your plug a couple of times then try to open them they snap right off. I replace all my hooks with 4x VMC and XH split rings. never had a problem with brealing or straightening out a hook.
