Red face

After rereading and reviewing the pix, I realized why I was messing up my plugs. I was doing it completely bassackwards.

I'm not sure that is backwards, Fred, that is the way everyone else used to do it. I think Rock may have a better way, however, since it eliminates the need to use an oversized grommet and lets you squeeze the wire less tightly, hence it is easier to reopen. It does help to anneal your wire before doing it. Heat just the loop you want to reopen to cherry red and let it cool slowly (don't quench it).

Whew, thanks for the link Fred....will be trying this technique tonight. Also, thanks to Rockfish for sharing the technique.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
