Rigging Soft Plastics, The Through Wire

Through wiring soft plastic lures is something I first came across with savage gear lures. It is a great idea allowing the lure to move away from the hook which saves on baits and I am guessing it gives the fish less to pry the hook out with.

It took a few experiments to get the process down to tee but I think I have cracked it with this video, it would be great to see how other people get on with this method
