Hardware Problem

I hope someone out there can answer this question for me. My plugs seem to very productive, thanks to some of what I have learned from this forum. My problem is, the swivels on belly hooks often break. As you might guess, this happens only on the larger fish. I think it is because of the sharp angle exposed to the strain. The length of the swivel is determined by the diameter of the plug body. This happens while bench testing swivels from a few makers. The break is always at the lower section of shaft, not at the loop and not pulling out of the barrel. Has anyone had this problem? What brand of hardware and where did you buy it? Thanks in advance and a Happy Holiday season to all.
