i used screw eyes do to nature of the pvc. There super strong 1.5" .092 stainless steel.
Ive had thru wire tail wraps break on professional plugs before.
Theres a great thread about screw eyes vs thru wire. ill try and find it. and it basically states that the reason alot of builders dont use them anymore is because the plugs wont sell, not because they dont work.
All the old vintage plugs used screw eyes and the amount of bigger fish caught was probably alot higher than it is today. and look at all the muskie and peacook bass plugs out there, 99% of them are screw eye or hook hanger construction, and both those fish are crazy strong. look at the old gibbs, creek chubs, lupos, etc.
The screw eyes i use on my plugs have caught fish up to 51.2lbs with no signs of them pulling out.
