I have a problem with worm fishing, way too many times I get a deep hook that is terminal for the fish, I have started using the Strike King craws, they are a little pricey but they last a long time because of the quality of material, I guess, I rig them on a a weedless jighead, 3/8 OZ is my go to, they are the best thing I have found for LMB,, and almost zero swallowed hooks. I have issues with worms, they grab the tail and just hang onto it and swim for a bit, obviously you cant set the hook then or you just break the worm but when they do finally gulp it, its swallowed, just my experience. they do hit them well tho, and salamanders was always my preference over worms, more action.
