Heavy screw eyes will usually prove satisfactory as hook holders and for attaching the line to the plugs described here. For stronger plugs, however, attach the hooks by using hook hangers similar to the one used for freshwater plugs. For salt-water plugs, such a hook hanger must be heavier than that used for fresh-water plugs. You can make such hook hangers by using a brass piece 1 in. long by in. wide and 1/32 in. thick. File the brass in a bench vise as shown in Fig. 36. Then bend it with round-nosed and flat-nosed pliers so that the finished hook hanger will look like the one shown in the illustration. Figure 36. Making a hook hanger from brass stock.
