As others said, hooks and split rings on bandits are weak. I use #4 VMC online trebles and #3 split rings. Some don't have problems with them but many people do. I didn't until I mentioned I didn't l then I had a bunch of hook bend and break and a couple split rings stretch. Now they get cut off and replaced before they go in the water doesn't matter stock or custom I do it to all, costs like $1 per bait or less using VMC
