Finishing & Preparing the Master Plug
for Mold Making
Installing Three Point Wire Eyes
27. Locate the center of the Line & Hook-set Harness exit points as indicated in Fig. 21. below. 3/16” holes will be drilled into the lure body at these points. Later, #7 Wire Swivel Shafts will be glued into the holes to form alignment and gripping points for lure body surface finishing, and mold making.
28. With Moto Tool and 3/16ths drill bit; drill holes to depths and angles as indicated in
Fig. 20. & Fig.22.
Protect the lure body from vice jaw impressions by making a padding between the Master Plug body, and the vice jaws. Use scrap carpeting, cut tire tubes or similar material to make a padded cradle for the Master Plug body.
29. Secure the Master Plug body in table vice, aim drill
bit as accurately as possible. You may wobble the hole
slightly, or make it slightly oversized. Drilling accuracy
is not critical here. However. When the wire eyes are installed; they must be centered Fig. 22.
