I've never had a problem with them cracking but you are dead on about the poor quality of the hooks. I had a one oz casting swimmer. It wasn't one of those really teeny ones, it was a medium sized one. Anyways, on a cast off my ummm fake jetty, I by accident dropped the plug down in the rocks. Trying to reel it up, I finally got it free but the rear treble hook was missing! I think they are good plugs still but in their attempt to cost the manufacturing costs have resorted to using cheap hooks.
The worst part is, There are no split rings so I can't change the hooks. I have a nice box of Mustad treble hooks that would go nicely on larger plugs but they are closed eye hooks. I don't even like the open eye hooks to begin with. All that bending can't be good...
