Make a "V" block to perform horizontal tasks. Simply hold the plug with your hand if standing it up and through drilling.

Maybe you need to go to someones shop and watch how it's done.

Rubber vise jaws

I have a set of rubber vise jaws. They work great. Google "rubber vise jaw" and see what you find. Most all the major tool catalogs have them. You can get soft wood like pine to be pretty tight before they leave a mark. Test it a few times and you'll get the hang of it. I also have one of the v-shaped holders pictured above. They work well too.

I just hold in hand ... if you drill belly hole first some really hot heat will come out of there ,,maybe causing you to let go .. I've let go and had to run for it ... I've had an extention cord roll up in the drill press and rip a 4' flouresent light off the ceiling .. better listen to those other guys ..

If you come to the plugfest i'll give you a lesson on how to hold the lure with your hand or jig or whatever and drill it.
