Worm Help.
Can someone tell me the proper way to put a worm on a hook? It seems that no
matter how I put a nightcrawler on a hook, the fish seem to bite or suck it
right off without a problem.Is there a special rig or something that will make my worm last longer? I'm
pretty fed up with casting a worm and a minute later, reeling it in only to
find 1/4" of worm still hanging on. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

| Get a worm threader and you can thread the whole worm or a section of worm
on the hook. The worm threader is like a needle with an indent in the head
to place the nook point and you then slide the worm on to the hook.

| I bet you wind up with a different method from everyone who responds :-)
Part of the answer will depend on how and what you are fishing for. I use
nightcrawlers for the larger game fish like Walleyes and Bass, but have even
done well with Crappies and Perch, along with the occasional Northern Pike. The method I use is once through the nose of the 'crawler with a light wire
Aberdeen style hook tied on to some small diameter line. But I fish these
using the "Lunkers Love Nightcrawlers" method, which is a finicky, finesse
way of losing a LOT of crawlers if you let your attention wander, as I
sometimes do :-D Tight lines

| Well the reason I ask is that most of the time I use lures but there is a
nice lake that is really clear. It seems that the fish will only hit live
things... So I need a real good way to hold on to that worm! Thanks,
