I rig my worms like you would a rubber worm for pitching, I use the lightest Gamagatsu hook and slip weight possible about a foot or more above the worm, I also put on the lightest line possible somtimes down to 2 lbs if I am going after trout, heavier with bass and cats, I thread the tip of the head on then push the hook thru, turn the worm a 180 degrees and put the point back into the body so the knot and the tip of the hook are not exposed. I also use the line as an indicator of a pick up not the tip of the pole, I will use this method with slip bobbers to drift over cover, or use the hypodermic air method for suspending when jigged. it has worked with many species and areas and is my go to bait when everything else is failing to get the bigger fish.
