Hook Hangers????

Not really sure why you would want to go with the fully sealed method. I live in NJ and I know how prominent it is to have fully sealed down here, but it only does 2 things:

1.) provides leverage to the fish, and
2.) requires another piece of hardware in a split ring.

I have had more than my share of hardware failures so no thank you on the split ring. providing leverage to a fish is not something I want to introduce.

I think you would be better served with swivels.

I know the history of fully sealed very well and I had the fully sealed conversation with various plug builders in NJ included at leagth with Gary 2 one evening. I still believe you would be better served with swivels.

Merry Christmas,

P.S. if you do go fully sealed. many builders will wrap the plug around twice rather than once so the wire runs through the wire hanger. The picture you show above is used by some as well.

Using a nail speeds it up somewhat. Take a nail, make 1 or 2 tight wraps, drop down for the section that will be outside the lure, then back up, here is where measuring is essential. Then finish off the other side with 1 or 2 wraps around the nail. The thing is you have to measure for depth to be right on.
