No, it is very heavy wire (thicker than any screw eye) that is set into a heavy swivel base (machined) then glued and pinned into the plug with a machine screw. You'd need Paul to duplicate it, but there is no reason you couldn't make do with a through wire set up of some sort.
As for 1000 lb fish, I've no idea, but you're not going to be fighting them with any more than 50 lbs of drag, and plenty of stuff can stand that pull.
