IMO,
Only use the MAGNUM srew eyes on any saltwater plug over 5" they are .092" . U can get them From Scott at #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&.com. and we will have them soon. at njtackle.com
Also Stamina carries them.
Hope that answers your question.
This works as well. Drill a 1/4" hole, 1/2-5/8" deep. Fill it with 2 ton epoxy (do not use 5 minute) and insert a brass sinker eye. Do this before you seal the plug so the epoxy can penetrate into the grain. It is very strong.
