I normally epoxy the holes where the tru-wire enters/exits (nose and tail) my plug so that water doesn't enter. Now, I thinking the salt water can't exit either when I hang the plugs to dry and may end up getting absorbed or having an effect on the wood over tiime (even if the wood is sealed) b/c the only exit hole would be the belly hole.

Any suggestions or pros/cons on filling the nose and tail thru-wire hole w/ epoxy vs. leaving the hole as is ?
