Yea was tryin to avoid buying weedless hooks, I was looking more for a way to use my exsisting tackle, but I think this will be my best and only option

I take the point of the hook and insert it back into the worm - it helps and does not really change the action.

Post a pic if ya get a chance esquired, ive been thinking of that but dont it tear the baitup?

Here is a photo. I used a large circle hook so you can see what I do, I usually use a octopus style smaller hook.

It does not tear up the worm until you get a hit, then your hook set will pull the point of the hook through the bait. I use this style almost exclusively becuase I can bull the bait over and through structure without snagging.

Thanks esquired Ill try that but maybe with some heat shrink tubing to reinforce it and save wear and tear on the baits
