jointed plug with lead connector?

i have thought of a way to do away with screw eye connections,or
bending over the stainless loop ,then opening up the loop,after passing it thru the front end of a jointed plug(namely a slammer).
recently i started pouring my own spinnerbaits and got the idea from the spinnerbait where the joint of the hook & the stainless wire are joined by a simple little hook put in the wire & then hooked onto the hooks eye.then poured with lead. so i was wondering if 2 short
wires can be joined with a little hook bent in each end ,at a belly hole
then poured with lead,to seal & lock in the connection.so what i,m asking is do you think this connection will hold up?and has it been done before?

Seems as though it would work, but why not just thru wire it. I think a big fish could also straighten the wire during a good fight and pull that hook idea apart.
Are you planning to attach a hook or swivel at that juncture also?

the plug is for freshwater. a swivel & treble will have a separate belly hole.i cannot thru wire because the joint cut is a shallow v. the wire connection in a spinnerbait to my knowledge is a strong one, i have never heard of one pulling apart.thanks for the input
