Help - Tail dress but no hook, how?

[PI guy]

Its not tied on the split ring, it's tied on what looks like a hook shank w/ the hook cut off (probably not) or maybe just a piece of stainless thru wire ( more economical). Tattoo's Jr. Swimmers have these instead of a tail hook.

I editted my prior post to include a pic of the jr swimmer also. Perhaps it is wire but I sure would like to see a close picture.

More than once I've seen the tail wrapped to a small screw eye

I just tie on an open end hook and cut off above the shank.

Spence is right on that one now that I think of it. Only problem w/ that is if you want it on an existing plug you would have to re-wire it and that's not possible on some plugs.

Why can't use just use a small split ring on the screw eye
