Pete,
was replacing hooks on some of my beachmasters tonight and with little effort the cut vmc's snapped
..after being changed in the fall and rinses withfreshwater on a regualr basis...makes you think when the fat lady comes along ifr the cuts will withstand her 50+ POUNDS OF STRENGTH
i know some plug builders such as beAchmaster swear by no split rings because it effects the action, but from what i saw tonight i will never go with cuts again....
