i find the copper and flux to be a PIA, and used steel epoxy to create the same effect with much less work. i posted a picture on here a while back. I rig the head such that the epoxy "ball" is right against the throat of the eel and tie it off on both sides.

I also use cable ties to reinforce and protect the dacron, but all the actual tieing is done with dacron.
those look SWEEEET!

i don't use as many cable ties as that, but those look very "offerable"!!

i am becoming MORE of a believer of these lures with each season.
