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!

^ The weight isn't connected to the wire. I'll try just pulling it out and see what happens. I'm sure it will get %$%$%$%$ed up and I'll rue the day I considered fishing plugs again, but at least I tried. 
As for the elctrical suggestions, I appreciate the input guys, but you're not going to get rid of me that easily.  |

U laugh It was in the book along with a diagram.If I can find it I will post a pic.
Fish it with 2 hooks.Or find a old beater an make it the same weight with water.
U'll have to add equal amounts to both sides as there is a seam down the middle.

That's the plan. It will likely work fine with just the front hook, but I was looking to add the second because its a fairly long plug. |
