I like a little curve to the body, so I’ll use a piece of sandpaper held between my hands to get this effect. No photo for this as I need two hands to use the sandpaper. I’ll hit it with 80 grit first, then finish up with 180 grit. You can do this on the lathe.

With the blank still on the lathe, hold a pencil to the blank to mark the weight, swivel, and eye (if you want an eye on your plug) locations. On this one, the eye is at .85 inches, hook at 1.5 inches, and the weight at 2 ½ inches from the front of the plug.
