Yeah..that worried me too. The last ones I got had a kind greenish tint to them. The old ones were stainless steel color. They look the same otherwise. They both say stainless steel on the package. I wonder if there is a difference?
I think the plug was twisted funny on the side of the fishes head and it put a torque on the snap. I didn't loose the plug but about half way thru the battle it broke free. I wasn't a monster but it was decent. (it was the large snap)

Standing on the water, casting your bread
While the eyes of the idol with the iron head are glowing
Distant ships sailing into the mist
You were born with a snake in both of your fists while a hurricane was blowing

If you're using a lure that will accept a split ring on the nose, put one on and then tie direct to the split ring. I put splits on all of my 9" swim baits,wooden plugs and plastic plugs, then tie on like Paul said. The split will allow the lure to swing and wobble as it would with the snap. There is no need for snaps IMO. The failure potential is considerably reduced with the split ring.
Bonus information:
I sometimes put a split ring on my eel hooks to prevent the eel from sliding up the line and being lost or chopped by bluefish.

I know the originals were made in England with the finest of stainless.
Maybe China imports now.  |

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
