I'd like to see how cut hooks match up to hooks w/ split rings with regards to lost fish. To me, it seems that a fish can get much more leverage with cut hooks, even when on a swivel vs a screw eye or something. I never cut my hooks, but I also don't fish any plugs that would require it cut. I do have some old gibbs darters that I just refurbished and it appears as though they will require some cut hooks but we'll see.
