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.

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.

had one on a swedish pimple fold to a football on SBFT.

Yo zuri an bomber seem to use what ever hook an split ring they have.i have seen yo-z's crystal minnows in the package with what looked like a 3/0 hook.before any plastic plug goes in my bag it gets a hook an s-ring overhaul.the hooks on a mag darter are VMC's but not a 4x hook.they won't hold up to a good fish or any pull.for the most part tho on the finish type plugs they get a size 4h or 5h Not sure who makes em butthey are the good ones.

Habs, trust me, I love that you put only the best into your plugs; finish, wood, wire, swivels, rings, etc... I just hadn't had the issue yet. To be honest, I am pretty suprised the rings haven't burned me yet. Like I said, I'll be switching over a lot of my rings to triples soon. Let me know when you order some next. I'd love to give them a solid workout this fall. Drop me a line this weekend if my other stuff is ready. I'll be in RI all weekend, then Cutty next Thursday.
