Answer 2

To hook a rubber worm, you need a "worm or bass" hook. Let the point of the hook go through the nose of the worm a little bit, then curve it downward and draw it out of the bottom of the worm. Then.....midway back on the worm, run the hook / point up, back up through the worm. Let the point go through the top of the worm.....the curve of the hook should be near the bottom. work the hook back and forth through the worm to make setting the hook easier. And when done, take the point of the hook which should be just above "flush" with the top side of the worm and take a small piece of the worms "skin" and cover the very tip of the point. Now, remeber to use a "bullet" sinker with the worm. It would be put on the line before the hook gets tired on. THe point of the sinker should point away from the hook. you can let this sink slide freely on the line / use a toothpick and lodge it in place at the noce of the worm or move it up the line and lodge it in place a two-three feet from the nose of the worm.  Oh....geeze...I forget. the nose of the worm should cover the hole of the hook the line gets tied to. Also, when done correctly, the worm will look "natural" along the distance of the hook. The hook should look like an added "belly" to the worm. the worm should look smooth an natural........I hope this helps.

There are several different ways to hook them, but " The Carolina Rig" is most popular. Run the hook through the tip of your plastic worm about a 1/4 inch then back out run it down to the eye of the hook then put the point and the barb back into the worm. This makes it very weedless and works well in brush also. Use bullet weights about a 1/4 to a 1/2 ounce weight should work well. HAPPY FISHING!!!
