I use a chuck to grab the lure . Turn a round tenon at the ends and grab it with a 4 jaw chuck (Nova, tecknatool, PSI, One way) You can get one for about 50-70 bills and you will use it a lot. The drill should be stationary and the tail stock allows you to advance the drill with its adjustment. You will need to back out the drill several times to clear the bit. A lot of people just drill partially from each end on the lathe and then meet in the middle using a DP with a 8" 5/32 bit.
