Yes thats all the worm that I use on the hook and I try to keep it straight up on the shank like shows in the picture ! When they are not picky it dont much matter but I have seen many a time if that piece of worm gets down around of the bend of the hook they want hit it or if that worm stays on too long and turns white ish put on a new piece . And I like the long shank hook to prevent gut hooking ! Most the time I can catch 4-5 or more fish on that small piece of worm Casting The 1 sliders or a popsicle color curly tail on a 1/32 head works very well also.
