It is tight, so I guess it depends on your process.

I always wire before I epoxy, so I have the nose and tail loops to work with and I use them to hold the plugs withouth getting my fingers in the epoxy.. I also use spare pieces of thru wire with little U's bent on each end to carry plugs from where I epoxy them to the spinner. I hook the tail loop on a hook on the spinner and attach the spring end to the nose loop.

Thank you for that explanation -- that was very helpful.

you don't need a motorized unit to do the epoxy
make a small hand turned one for applying the epoxy
just make it the same distance hook to hook as your spinner so you can unhook the ends and move the whole thing to the spinner
here is a swimmer inspired by the rockfish tutorial ready for etex
