I drilled from the fat end to where the line attaches. Then I start the other end straight in and thed turn toward the rear. The way I've weighted them they lay dead flat in the water, because of where the line loop is it will leap up if twitched hard or slide if swept. It will also walk the dog. I only used a tail and a belly hook because a third hook is a PIA if you're not killing everything you catch. It's a plug that never was- a wooden reverse 40.
