Here's another tip that will help alot. Force your hook through the other side of the worm making it a hole to penetrate once hook set occurs. Alot of plastics are a little hard and this helps quite a bit. Sometimes I'll texpose also, I do this on my paca craws with good success. On first tip though, I forgot to say to put the hook back inside the worm after making the hole, thus making it weedless again.
