Dilbertman, I rigged the worm on a size 10 owner single egg hook, live bait hooks also will work, and a very small split shot about 14 inches up. I actually missed quite a few fish becuase they were short striking it. If this happens then just pinch off about a quarter of the worm and you should hook up more.

Also, for the other question, I was using a gold bouyant.
Good Luck
