I'm about to try and make my first wooden plug (Popper style bait). When (if) I ever manage to get it ready to hardware; is there a hook hanger that I can get locally i.e. not have to order it. I was thinking there might be some substitute, like a tiny eye-bolt that may be used. Thanks in advance for your help.

I make my own out of twisted stainless wire. You can get it at most hardware stores.

20gage stainless steel wire is what I prefer to use.   Get a nail or drill bit and fold the wire around it in a U shape.   Grab both ends with pliers and twist until you get a nice tight loop.   Epoxy in a predrilled hole and it will never come out.
