While I can certainly understand and respect that argument and your point of view on the topic - especially given personal experiences (and that gut-wrenching photo! Ouch!!) - were you the one who made the lures that the screw eyes came out of, or were they lures you purchased? Do you know if they were made properly? How old were the lures when they failed? Were there other signs of damage to the lure - something that perhaps the user should have seen (epoxy failure, cracking, etc), that would otherwise have been a sign of "it's time to retire this lure" if not for the emotional and/or financial investment made in said lure that was working counter to logic?
I've seen several videos in which rather small screw eyes were tested (like those used for bass-sized lures), and when properly epoxied and secured into the wooden body, the failure strength is well in excess of 100 pounds.
Give this a watch. Quite interesting. The fact of the matter is that when considering the rod, reel line, and lure as a "system", the whole thing is only as strong as the weakest link. If you're using 85# braid, and the hook eye holds to 140+ pounds, the hook eye is not the weakest link.
Certainly not trying to sway anyone's decision to build things one way or the other, just pointing out some additional information for consideration.
