Wacky Worm Question

[Mumpy]

So, this past weekend was the first time I've given it a try since I purchased everything needed (For Example, the Tool and O-Rings)

Couple of Questions:

1. I switched from fishing the Senko Worm from Wacky Style to Weedless Rigged and that is when I started catching Bass. The Technique I used was, Throw it out, Let it Sink for a good 15 seconds to make sure it was on the Bottom (Was fishing around 10-12' of Water) I would then Pull up on the Rod Tip and let it Sink, Then Pull up on the Rod Tip and Let it Sink and when I would Pull up on the Rod Tip and feel weight I'd Pull Harder to set the hook. - Question... All the Bass I caught had the hook deep in their Mouth, It was like impossible for me to see or feel the strike fast enough to keep the Bass from almost Swallowing the hook every time. Do you guys got any tips for this Technique?

2. I was using a Size 1 Gamagatsu Circle Hook (basically the same hook I was using for the Wacky Rig. The thing I noticed was after one Fish it was almost impossible to hook it weedless again and have the hook and worm stay attached as they should. The Worm seemed to always slide down the Hook Shank. Should I be using different style hooks if I'm going to fish these Worms Weedless / Texas Rigged (Without Sinker of Course)

Other than that, I couldn't believe how many Bass I caught. I tripled everyone else Catches.

Thank you Bassfishin Forum for turning me onto this Technique.
