For thru-wiring a plug, you will need to center drill the plug, usually a 1/8 or 3/16 inch bit. I do them on the drill press, others use a lathe. Drill to the halfway point from one side, flip over and drill from the other side. Use a swivle for the hook holder. You'll make a loop for the line tie at one end of the wire, then run it into the plug, through the swivle (or swivles if you have several hooks). Pull the wire so it is snug in the front, then loop it in the back for the rear hook. May be someone has some photos to make it make more sense.

Been using Alaskan Yellow Cedar lately for plugs. Nice stuff. Turns, sands, finishes well. Good action on swimmers and topwater plugs.
