Bait rigging
When rigging a Sea Worm, you want to start with a long shank hook beginning from the head of the worm feeding it over the barb of the hook and carefully pushing the worm up the shank and over the eye of the hook.
River and estuaries
General rig types for rivers and estuaries are 1/0 – 2/0 long shank hooks with a sliding ball sinker sized 1 or 2. (sinker size can be altered to the size required of the zone you are fishing)
