Weighted wacky rig set up advice

I do a lot of wacky rigs on worms especially yum dingers 5 inch. Finding the middle of the worm is key. What I do is fold the worm to end to end and the middle should be after the smooth bubble end in the center. This is where you put your hook. I have caught my last two PB bass ever since I been worm fishing which is bascially this year. Some people put O' rings/rubber bands on it to keep the worm together after being hit so many times. I also switch it up from weightless, split shot, and bullet weight. LOL Guys around my part never heard of a "weighted" wacky rigged. One guy just looked at me. LOL
