Zeno, I have never had one open Because I always remove them.
That works on some plugs but screws up the action on others, especially dannies and other metal lips IMO. Metal lips are very sensative and really have to be treated on a lure to lure basis. Beachmaster dannies for example don't swim as well with the middle treble removed or with split rings added.
