I put split rings on all the plugs I make. I believe that a swinging hook give the bass less of an opportunity to get a "purchase" on the hook and either straighten it or rip it out.
Try playing around with a hook on a "ring" as opposed to a hook on a swivel. You will immediately see the difference. I had this conversation with Habs Sr. 14 or 15 years ago and we agreed. That's why you don't see Hab Sr. plugs without split rings.
