I do thru hole and then cut off ends and then do the balancing act, let dry for a few days and then holes, weight ,lips, etc.... Plugs with lips I just drill thru hole from rear to front belly hole location, then hydro. Just my way. Master screw up is more like it.

I turn and sand plug, then drill thru or atleast start the thru hole from the rear before cutting the ends off. After this it would be time to hydro orientate unless you want to put a quick dip in sealer on it first. that is my opinion but I'm no master either
I do not feel a need for it personally! Especially on metal lip swimmers. If there is a density issue with the top of the plug having a slight desire to roll when you folks "Hydro Orient" the weight of a belly weight, grommet, swivel and hooks will offset this effect.....after all it is a swimmer and it is designed to roll and/or wiggle. I had this discussion with an engineer and he agreed. As Paul says to each his own!

I agree , I hydro orient at the beach
What is a master builder?
I hope it's not like a Master Baiter
