Good stuff Rock!! I haven't been doing the loop before squeezing the wire in the vice. Will try that on the next ones that I do.

I also like to counter sink the rear section as Charleston suggested.

It is worth trying it this way and using a tight tail wrap on the front section. These can give you a slightly different action. A tighter join may not cast as well, but it might give the action you are after. Seems that on some plugs the tail wrap method works best, others the double over.

Fastner supply also has a GS65 eyelet that is the prefect size for the grommet on the back of the front section. The doubled over wire will fit thru it, just bearly.

Thumbs up

I just did a few like that today, thanks. Easy and neat!
