Don't think it would make much difference with that type of worm. I have done very well with reaper style worms dropshoted. I like that fluttering, dying fish action. I also routinely cast sidehooked large bighammer style swimbaits with football style jigheads to get this same type action. Have caught many nice LM and stripers this way. I don't understand why someone hasn't designed a swimbait with this design.
