How do you twist the wire

Hello all my first post hope you guys can help

I am building my first plug and have sealed the plug an picked my colors but realize I have no idea how to secure the eyelid and the tail hook, any easy way to do this it look like a pain. I have looked at some of my purchased plugs and i think i can twist up the end hook but am not sure how the get the eye in place without the tag end potentially popping out when a 50 pounder hits it.

it's supposed to be a relaxing in the man cave,
labor of love kinda thing.....


ps.
don't forget to support S-B's sponsers...
because frankly you won't make a Plug
of the caliber they offer....then when your
fishing it and "catching" you can make mental
notes as to what attributes you want your
own plugs to have.
