I fish them weightless with a 4/0 worm hook. Probably hard to do with a baitcaster though...

I throw it out and watch my line for a hit as it sinks. Then I give it little jerks and twitches and work it back to me. Watch it in shallow water and you'll find a retrieve you like. Fish don't seem to picky with them. Sometimes I'll even try to keep them so they're breaking the surface everyonce in a while.

They're versatile so experiment.

I rig them weightless also, with a 3/0 or 4/0 hook.  I have trouble casting them with BC's though. I mainly use spinning tackle.

I used them this year t-rigged and pitched around stumps/brush/blowdowns.  A killer bait used like that.

For me usually on a split shot rig

I have fished them believe it or not on a 1/16 shakey-head jig, think because the tricks worms are a little bigger than finesse, it pulls down faster? Dont' know why, but I caught a few nice ones that way.

These are perhaps the most versatile baits I use.

I split shot them with a 2/0 EWG hook and a 1/16 - 1/32 splitshot 1-2 foot in front of the worm

I shakey head them

I fish them weightless T-rig and jerk them back to the boat.  Also try this with a roofing nail or Sluggo weight inserted in the body

I T-rig them with light sinkers

I Carolina Rig them

They work well wacky-rigged too.

I fish them on a shakey head and t-rig.

I fished them on a shakey rig last night and got three, all about a pound and a half.

I think everyone covered this one.  I like it on a T-rig or a shakey head.
