Should I ask for a through-wire construction?
Short answer
It depends on the target species and the cover you expect the lure to survive. Through-wire runs the line attachment through the body rather than relying on a moulded hanger, and it is a structural decision with a cost.
In detail
For light freshwater use a moulded hanger is normal; for heavy cover or big saltwater fish, ask what the factory uses and why.
