Push the hook through the plastic worm until the eye of the hook comes up against the head of the worm. Turn the hook so that the point faces the body of the worm and embedded the hook point in the worm's body. This type of set-up allows the worm to float off the bottom, swimming freely. Use slip sinkers in the to 1 ounce range. Heavier weights allow for longer casts and ensure constant contact with the bottom.
Lighter weights are better in shallower water with shorter leaders.
Put a slip sinker on the line above a swivel. Tie a leader to the other end of the swivel. Tie the leader through the eye of the hook. Thread the plastic worm on the hook in the same way as the Texas Rig. This type of rig is good in areas where water varies between middle to very deep.
