Here is how I do the tail wrap as I have kind of given up on the threaded wire thing as it takes way too much time to thread and I think it may be compromised by a big fish as it is such a small thread. I feel the wrapping of the wire is much stronger. Takes some practice for sure but works great, after a while. I also am now anchoring the hanger into the body of the plug so it can't move around which can be aggravating. I pin it into the body now and glue it.
Here are a few pictures as it can be used on other plugs that terminate at the rear of the plug where no rear hook is used. I took pictures so I can review this next year as it seems I always forget how to do it every year so this is for me too.

Here you can see the rear of the plug. You can see the small hole I drill into the plug to anchor the hanger. Then you can see pin in the hole and then the whole set up before it gets wrapped. You can see I am making the grommet but will go to a store bought one after I run out of these. Again time consuming making the components.
