tube and worm

Fisherwoman, Thanks so much for your advise. I will now say that all those times that only a piece of worm was left on my hook that a fish had taken the rest. Even though I don't think that was the case it is making feel better. haha. I have a feeling that I have to elongate the distance between the bottom of the hook and the bottom of the tube, ( if that makes any sense). In other words like you suggested have the tube come half way down the shank of the hook. I am almost finished winterizing and shrink rapping my boat for its winter hibernation, I think one more weekend and I'll be done. I heard you say once that you put in at the town river some where I also am over in the town river, I'm at the TRYC.
