I've used cut trebles extensively in the past and never had them fail by breaking off a plug. And this was even during the Block Island run of cows that put to test every treble on the market. During that time every type of treble was used and all were abused by those outsized fish - they all would straighten but the cut eyes did not break. The only trebles that broke on us were made of stainless steel - stainless treble points would snap off because stainless was brittle.

That said, the only time we had problems with cut trebles was when you had to remove them - bending the eye more than once on a cut treble was too much stress and they would break. As we all know metal fatigues when bent repeatedly - My advice would be: if you're going to use cut trebles use them once and then dispose.
