Rewiring plastic plugs
Has anyone here ever rewired a plastic plug? A fisherman I used to know did it by heating the through wire up and pulling it out with a pair of pliers once the plastic softened a bit. He would then reinsert a new through wire and finish it off. Obviously, this can't be done with every plug model, but I believe this guy did them with super strike needles and plastic atom 40's.
I have a bunch of custom atom 40's that are weighted, but have no swivel in the middle hole, its just the front hook and tail loop that can be used. I'm looking to install swivels in the open hole but need to remove the through wire to facilitate this. Any ideas, or better yet, experience with this?
