I was walking my girlfriend back to her apartment today and i picked up a piece of a stick on the way. I had my pocket knife with me so i started messing with it.  I got to thinking man this is solid wood and pretty heavy, and wouldnt be hard to make a lure of some sort out of it.  Im thinking im going to make a topwater popper with it.  My question is what is the best way to attach the hooks? I was thinking about using something like the eye screw in the pic, would this be alright to use?

eye screws work great for hard woods

Alright Thanks, then thats what ill use. It doesn't have to be very professional looking, just thought it would be neat to make some kind of lure. Should they be kind of long so they get a good grip in the wood?

If the wood your using is hard you wouldn't need a long eye screw. If your using a soft wood like basswood then a long screw would be a good idea.

Its a pretty hard wood, so I guess ill be alright without the long screw.  Thanks for the info.
