...can't make ends meet.

Thanks for the comments. I've got the local kids breaking down the fence now! ;-)

I can get 2 or 3 large lures out of one picket.

I am having some trouble thru drilling the longer lures. I can successfully make the 5-6 inch lures, but the 8" plus lures I can't make ends meet. I am close, because I can put air through the lure, but the holes don't match up enough to get the wire thru. I am using a 6 inch bit from both ends with a drill press. Maybe I need to try a full 9-10” aircraft bit and see where it pops out?
