i put the hook through about a 1/4 inch from the end of the worm and kind of loop the worm a little and put it through the hook again and keep doing it till the worm is through the hook three or 4 times. i saw someone say hook it middleways throught the hook so that both ends can wiggle, i think thats just giving a fish a worm, all they are gonna do is bit one end that is wigglin and take the worm. if your using 4 inch redworms, that means you will have 2 inches hangin over each side of the hook, when the fish hit it, the hook is nowhere even close to the fishs mouth. just hook the worm 3 or 4 times and its done.
