  1. I use cotter keys to attached the jointed parts together. Pre-drill the holes and link up two cotter keys and insert one with one-ton epoxy. Do one side at a time and it will hold any fresh water fish. The problem I have with making trout baits is balancing the weight to get the plug to swim!
  2. Drill your placement holes then seal the bait with a bottom coat of paint. After that I take the lure to the lake (with attached hooks and rings) and test different weight and placement locations with those sticky weight strips to get the balance I want. Went the lure looks good in the water, dry it off and use super glue to over coat the strips and see how the lure runs. Make corrections with the weight if it not working and try again. Then when back home, 2-ton the weight strips in place.
