I put small split shots or use a wacky jig head.

Gotcha, just needs enoug weight so you can feel the bottom.

and I often use weedless hook not to get snagged.

Some guys take small nails and push them into the worm for extra weight and extra wackiness. You really don't want them too heavy though. A lighter worm will take longer to sink, and that's usually when the bass will crush it.

You could try fishing the worm the "traditional" way with a worm weight if you prefer to feel it bouncing along the bottom. Just google "worm weight" and you'll see the sinkers used.

Thanks for the tips guys. If anyone could advise on a rod that would be superb as well

[Bergen Angler]

For a wacky set up, I use a Fenwick 6'6" Medium light fast spinning rod with a Pflueger Purist 1325. I use 2 or 4 lb mono line with 10"-12" 6 lb fluroro lead.

[ShaggyRS6]

I can visualise how that would work nicely, what about if I'm using a lure! Same rod or would I need something a bit for beefy ?
