Thanks Charleston and VTBasser.

I'll give this technique a try. I like the idea of drilling with a shorter stronger bit first and then finishing with an aircraft bit. I also like the idea of a jig to position the lure and ensure alignment.

I split the last lure I drilled and noticed that the holes were close, but one side drifted right and one side drifted left. I guess I should double check the press alignment too.
