Cause its fun to argue about things we know nothing about

On a serious note, I have had wire deformed by stripers/hybrids. The wire stretches a little, and the tail loop gets bent to one side or the other a little. Not something that would cause you to lose a fish. Just have to use the pliers to bend back right. The one problem that stretching might cause is if you do not use glue on a swimmer lip. Once the wire stretches, the lip can also become lose, shift a little, and cause the plug to run wrong.
