Here's your fix. Drill a tiny hole near where your split ring attaches to the diving lip of the lure. You will run a wire leader thru it and attach it to the rear or both hook eyelets. Use a bearing swivel on the other end and you will have a safeguard against your hooks pulling out.
There was another version of this in a past Florida Sportsman or Saltwater Mag in which they did the same thing but removed the hooks from the lure completely, substituted single hooks and attached the leader to the lure via a couple of rubber bands. The reason was for the lure to separate from the leader and hooks by sliding up the line when a strike occured thus saving the expensive lures. The Stretch 25's aren't expensive compared to the 50's.
