Thanks Eddie, appreciate it.

Wanted to make up a batch for my son in law and didn't have a clue
as to how they were rigged.

the plug is hollow with a hole strait thru.
the hook is a Needle Eye hook, crimped on, that just floats arround in the hollow plug, the crimp rests up against the lead-head and sets the hook position.
the lead is cone shaped with a relief in the back then epoxied in the wood with a gromet up front and a big gromet in the rear.
