This^. I have caught a LOT of bass on a single worm rigged kinda like they do for a walleye crawler harness by threading my line through a small hook like a salmon egg hook, and then tying on a small rubber worm hook, witht the bend in the shank near the eye.
If you do it right, the small hook keeps it from sagging down the big hook, and a the worm runs straight just like a rigged plastic, but it's perfect for a weightless flip into cover or drop into some rocks. The worm wiggles in a slow snakey move when retrieved slowly, but also sinks very slowly, etc..
But.. bluegills, perch, dink smallmouth, etc will grab the tail and tear the worm off right at the collar, where the hook point goes in.
