Very Nice Work, as usual Christian.
Hook and eye placement on needles, each builder has is own reasons, I guess. I have noticed a trend lately, to move the eyes, and belly hook more to the middle, as opposed to the more traditional front third of the plug. We all know what the sand eels looks like, and where the eyes are on them. I am attaching a photograph of an Atlantic Needlefish.
Put the eyes and hooks where ya want to
