These are my favorite by far. You get both a 1/16 or 1/8 weight, and don't have to fiddle with o-rings, saddles, or a dollar-a-dink when they shake them off a bare hook.

I prefer to use these over a weight jig head.

They're an Eco Pro Tungsten Pro Wacky Weight. it pushes up through the worm and you run your wacky hook through some of the plastic and the loop in the wire. It helps you get a few more fish out of your worms since they don't rip as easily and it also allows you to change weights without having to retie.

I've got some Tungsten ones.  Weedless and non weedless.

  I know you will get a lot of opinions but try the Woo Tungsten wacky hook. Its the best I have used. The weed guard is the perfect stiffness and does not get out off wack so to speak. LOL. Good hook up ratio too.

Zappu Ichi and Owner are my two favorite wacky jig heads.

If I fish up river in current I just cast past the target and let it float down stream while it does its thing...  If I absolutely need the bait to drop faster, I'll texas rig a 3/0 finesse wide gap hook with a 1/32 oz bullet weight. It'll sink the worm but it isn't heavy enough to kill the action of the stick worm doing it's "shimmy"

Gamakatsu does it for me, a little pricey but very high quality.

I really like the gamakatsu ones or the Berkley Fusion ones that are basically identical. Both have good hooks and I like the double weed guard. I use them with the Missile Baits The 48. 

 

I also really like the Jackall one, but it’s a little small. But it fits their flick shake worm well.

Owner makes a good one

I got some of these for now.  1/16th.  trying it with the 4.8 flick worm.  I just need the rain to stop!!  STOP!!

 

I try to pay attention to the line tie.  I want one positioned so it looks like it slips thru obstacles and should be a lever to lift the bait up when I pull the line tight.  the owner looks like it would roll the hook up when the line goes tight.  I like that.  

 

the jackal one his a longer line tie, so more leverage.

I like the flick heads too, they use a really strong hook.  I use light gear which the Owners work just as well or better with and they are less then a 1/3 of the price.  I took some of the FS heads, tied a keeper on them and used them for stripers.
