Is there a hookup difference between hooking the hook through the side of the worm versis hooking it in line like when you use a o ring?
I think I've lost more fish when going through the side and was wondering if it was just the type of hooks I was using. I was using a hook with a light wire weedguard that was really soft.

Morgan,
What may be happening to you when you hook into your worms directly is the fish are tearing them off the hook? Maybe you need to catch more of the worm/senko.
I use the Gamakatsu finesse, weedless hooks and haven't noticed any increased propensity for lost fish because of the hook.
Anyway, that's just a thought.

Re: Wacky Rigging Question
I might be totally wrong and everyone might disagree, but I've found drop shot hooks can be used in more than one application. I've switched to them for minnows and crawdads for my grandson and wacky sinko fishing. I've also found and it just might be luck that this type of hook will generally never (I know never is a long time), give a deep hook set.
