3. Thread the wire through the body, pulling the wire through the centre with another piece of wire, or use a small swivel.
4. Push the wire ends back into the bodyto create the rear hook hanger and tie on point.
5. Put the rattle material in the body, and seal the cap on with some super glue
6. Seal the lure with UV resin, before sanding and painting.
