Take a section of a tail weight and stick a screw eye through it. Take the rigged plug to the water and see what it does with no weight. Then screw the weight into the plug enough to hold it and test swim. Move weight around until you find the best swimming action. Mark that point and drill the other plugs to match.

You can do the same thing with screw eyes and hooks to figure out the best configuration of hooks too. Drill for thru-wire, but don't drill the swivel holes. Wire up and use the screw eyes to add hooks. Move around as needed.
