Can someone tell me how to do the thru-wire build with the wire thru the lip.

Thanks

Hi,
There are a few ways to do it. I leave the blank in one piece. I bore a hole from one end of the blank to the other. I make the bend for the line tie in a vise and pull the wire through. I pull the wire through the bait, glue the lip in and then make the back hook hanger.

It's much easier to see how it done versus explaining it. I will post a video later tonight of how I do it.

Thanks,

Nice video. Now could you show how you put your middle hook hanger in or post a pic on how you bend the top to catch the thru wire?

Yes, the belly hanger is the same stainless steel wire that has a hook at the top to prevent the hanger from coming out. It's also epoxied in. The bait is one solid piece of wood, not glued.

Thanks,
