I struggled with this for the longest time too. It's hard if you haven't seen it done. The cave man showed me like 5 ways to do it.

I like when you nick the arse of the plug and take a chunk of paint off .. I pretty much do same as others ,,have a drill bit in a vice ,, use a small pair of vice grips to grab wire .. Be careful on darters.. I use a pair of needle nose to grab arse wire before bending up . This leaves a small space .. 1/8" about ..The problem is ,,When you crank that arse loop really tight you pull nose loop in tighty tight .. On darters I feel this acts like a wedge.. A wedge like you use splitting hardwood ..I glue nose loop in with marine 2 part epoxy .. get back to it later ..

Like tagger said u have to epoxy the front loop on a darter or as u tighten the rear up u will just suck the front up thru the thin top cut..
