I use 3/0 or 4/0 open eye Mustads on all of my plugs without the split rings. The only plugs I keep the split rings on are my swimmers ( Cordells etc.) because I'm too lazy to take them off. I use the open eyes with the split rings too.I've never had a fish open an eye on me. I have had many fish bend and destroy trebles on me though. I just make sure that I check my hooks before every outing. Yes when the hook has rusted and it's time to replace, the open eye on the Mustad does break. But I never allow this to get that far because I am always replacing the trebles. I understand that plug builders use these split rings because if they ever had a fish open up an eye on a customer that would be the end of it. To me the split ring is just another step I don't need to go with.
