Is the weight directly connected to the wire? If not cut the tail loop off, pull the wire out and reinsert a new wire with the swivel and loop the tail. I do this all the time with plastic poppers that are exact duplicates of creek chubs so it should work the same way for the atoms and the needle.

Hope this helps and if I can be of any further help just let me know.

Oh heating the wire is not a very good idea, the toxins released can make you sick and there is very little control over how the plastic will melt. Too hot and you totally ruin the plug, not enough and the wire just keeps reattaching itself only making you hotter.

Tight lines!

Insanity is a long and winding road ... I think I finally made it there.
