im talkin about a hook tied to your line like t-rig un pegged ,the line will work its way into where its bent back around to itself , this will cause a break off on hookset so to combat this you can

1- check line every cast

2-slide worm up on hook and into the line alittle to keep it straight

3-put a drop of super glue in the gap (this is what i do)

what do you guys do ?

Rig the worm on a straight shank hook and use a snell knot.

I solve it a couple different ways

1. Snell the hook with a uni-knot

2. Tie a knot in the hook eye, cut the line, leave the knot, move it to the gap, then tie the line on.

The only line I a problem with is small superlines (6# and 8# mono diameter), they will actually slip out the gap on a hook set.

Never had a problem with it

X2. I like to add one more cut knot as stated in step 2 and shift to the opposite side. I find that it helps to keep the plastic on when you slide it over the hook eye.

Never had an issue either. Maybe it's because I run my soft plastics up my line. I push the plastic up past the end of the hook and have about a 1/4 inch of the line in the plastic.

It's actually a fairly common occurance if flipping heavy cover (mats) alot...

Two solutions...1)the snell knot (as has been mentioned).  2.) They make flippin hooks with a welded eye, specifically to prevent this issue from happening.

Yep, especially if you peg a heavy weight.  The solutions are pretty clear, use better hooks or snell them.  Even snelling can pose issues with the line coming through a gap.  Last time I looked, Owners were pinched shut, with a flattened end.

You can have the line pop out of the eye on almost any hook.  On an EWG, a Palomar will help to mitigate this.  You have two wraps around the eye of the hook instead of one.  It is still possible, but the chances are lessened quite a bit.  Straight shank hooks with unwelded eyes used for flipping are generally the biggest problem.  You're using heavy line and for the most part a pretty strong hookset.  Like everybody mentioned, a Snell knot is the best way to end the problem.  If you don't know how to tie it, there are numerous videos on the web of revised Snell knots that are very easy to tie.

^ This works for me.
