RE: Sa'Vasku Minis

I use a standard base from GZG (the ones with clockfaces).
I use Piano Wire (or other stiff wire) and insert it into the lure along
the
long axis. This give the lure some rigidity. 
Then I just push the base half way into the lure. Remove it fill the
created
hole with superglue and reinsert the base.
Let Dry.
