Texas rigged worms keep sliding down

How do you guys keep your worm in place for Texas rigs? Even dragging through some weeds I’m having my worm slide out of position every cast. Using the yum dinger and 4/0 ewg hooks.

Super glue or bait keeper looks like a screw eye with a spring attached that you put on the hook and screw the bait on down the spring

Agree with drifter and Fred; I have done both, including a short piece of stiff monofilament in place of a toothpick. Another option for 4/0 and smaller that I use is bait buttons: https://www.baitbuttons.com/.

Bait buttons are a great accessory for keeping worms, eggs, leeches, plastic, etc on the hook in the proper place. Here, they're available in 2 sizes, according to the hook size.
