hardest part of that is getting the lure sealed well on the inside where the thru wire goes in ,

I had a friend whos stuff looked awesome that water getting inside the lure drove him crazy as once they get wet from inside the paint comes off .

The finnish is one thing but worse once its wet they dont swim correctly.

 

For the OP. Just grab some plugs you have and meausure. The top one is a needlefish. Bottom is a polaris or a littleneck.

Get Jann's Netcraft Catalog has a wealth of info and Parts You don't seal the hole the wire goes thru you epoxy plug it then adds Finish.    The photo is what My Grandfather used to make out of Cloths pins  Don't over think the Styles or Shapes remember Plain ol Cedar Pugs Catch Bass
