Thru hole size?
What size hole do you drill thru your plugs. I imagine you use stainless welding rod for your thru wire. That measures around .062. I would think all the thru wired plugs would use the same size hole thru them. I understand that there is also weighting that is put in too which requires a larger hole. Thanks P.M.

Drill the thru hole at 1/8" dia. Then drill in about 3/8" with the .156 drill for the nose grommet.

3/16 seems to work well for my metal lip swimmers. I go down to 1/8 for needles.

Yeah, metal has gone up dramatically. I read the other day in the NY times that scrape metal is going $253 a ton. I remember $20 a ton just a few years ago.
