just enough to cover the hook ?? I always thread my worm on the hook, rather than gobbing the hook up with worms. The fish can see & smell the worm from a good distance ... small ones are going to grab the end of any worm hanging off the hook, and head away from the area - larger fish will usually just suck in the whole thing.
If you're fishing bedding fish .... and don't have to fish more than a couple of feet deep - try using a tiny float & no sinker, with your #8 hook & worm. The slow fall of a unweighted worm is usually too much for a "gill" to ignore :D ......... cp
