Nice plugs.

Over the years I've had swivels rip out/fail a number of times. Usually in smaller plugs (i.e., medium Dannys) although I've pulled one in a big Danny and even, I think, an Atom. All have been on just medium sized fish and always in older plugs, usually ones that had seen lots of use, so you are probably right about corrosion being a factor. I also think, however, that they rate swivels with a straight pull, but when used in a plug, particularly the front swivel gets strained at an extreme angle and is prone to fail. In spite of this I still often find myself using smaller swivels in plugs than I want, either to fit the grommet, or to not project too much, so I appreciate the lead on stronger hardwear.

Actually they will pop out if I throw one in a heavy rip like what you would have at the canal.... we have a few places down here with that kind of current and for that i throw jigs and darters, so i never have problems... Dannies for me are all about calm still water, V-wakes and quiet coves with boulder fields.
having 2 hooks really helps in the stabillity dept as well.

nope.. plugbuilder uses the best hardware possible so swivels wont turn green

Custom plugs require custom hardware. why settle for less???

Really ? I got to try that one (calm water thingy).My favorite Danny water are leftover hurricane swells , hard southwest before the cold front or budding nor'easter,went water looks like a wash machine.Never cared for Danny in calm waters ,usually went with Atom Jr.
I must come to your parts in the spring for a lesson ....
btw
Nice plugs
