OK then, I'll try to answer your question. It seems very, very basic....so basic it is easy to imagine you have not seen a saltwater plug. Presumably you have, so most likely you are aware that 90 % of plugs use a belly hole, grommet, through wire, and swivel. Another 5% use screw eyes. That leaves the remaining 5% that use sealed wires or wire hangers. I'll assume that is what you are asking about.
Plugs using a through wire with wire hangers connect the hook with a piece of wire that is bent into an elongated U and then the top end of each limb of the U is bent back down like a hook to hang over the wire. The hole is then usually filled with Plumbers epoxy.
A neat alternate way to do it is Frech's system (and old LI plugbuilder). Drill a 1/4 " hole about 1/2 " deep, put a medium sized brass sinker eye in it, and fill with 2-ton epoxy.
