I also have had some failures.Since i started changin em all out to the 4h 5h an 5.5H I have had no problems wit bass.Blues are bad when u get a few gorilla's u get em on land an they start rollin an flippin.That'll cause some damage.usually a set o korkers an some good force ends that.Some companys like yo zuri put inferior rings on their plugs they get changed right away.Its' a by product of the low strech braided lines...hav't gone to triple on many plugs yet some plugs i think they just won't fit properly on.That could cause lure action problems as well as the ring perhaps threadin itsell on the wire which could cause failure's/i think.i wanna get me some o that Trevally action.

I had one open on a 7" bomber a couple years ago. Fish was mid-20s and was flopping on shore when it broke. Other than that never had any fail, but i dont fish in heavy current too often.

Had problems till I went to #6 splits on my plugs. Then you could pull trucks with them.

No boat, back in the suds.

I really like that Wolverine triple #5. Especially on my surface swimmers. I think the added width is actually a benefit as it holds the hook a touch closer to the plug and it seems real strong. No issues at all so far.
