I made a jig for my drill press......I find center on the piece of wood, set the jig in the drill press so the bit hits center and then I tap each end with a hole about 1/4 inch deep and my chucks fit right in the holes!!
On some plugs I will for instance pre-drill the tail end as it saves me the trouble later, especially the case on metal lipped swimmers as the forward hole is usually offset drilled.
