How do you fish these things exactly?  Do you fish it like a senko?  Or do you reel it back with a steady retrieve? Also do you prefer weights or weightless?

Most people i've seen fish them weightless similar to a senko.

i sometimes add a small bullet weight when i want the worm to sink faster or if i want it to slide through some vegetation.

chubaka i'll show you my new rod later on msn.

I'm pretty sure there are lots of ways to fish them, but I normally fish it weighted.  Let the worm fall to the bottom on a slack line then let it sit there for a little then do slow sweep(?) motion then pause and repeat this step over OR drag on the bottom very slowly...  

Texas-rigged with a bullet sinker is the standard.  Senkos are generally fished without a weight, and you generally dead-stick a senko (just letting it fall).  I'd start out by rigging your power worm with a 3/16oz sinker and a 3/0 or 4/0 hook.  Let it fall initially and give it a second.  Most bites come on the drop.  After giving it a few seconds....lift or 'hop' your bait back to the boat or shore moving it only a couple of feet at a time.  This has worked since 1300BC if I'm not mistaken.

Texas rigged like any other ribbon tail worm

I fish T-rig style with Berkly powerworms. But if I am able to see the fish(sometimes), I will go weightless.

t-rigged, tungsten 1/8 oz is the way I fish it most of the time, slowly swept along the bottom, changing the weight based on the amount of wind or current.

1300BC ;D 8-) Now that is funny. It may also be true. :(

Definately true.

These worms are very versitile lures. I always start out fishing them like a senko, then pick up the tempo if nothing hits. I even fish these on light tackle with a steady retrieve. Rig it so the tail of the worm is pointing downward when it is retrieved and it looks like a hurt baitfish with the action that the tail gives it. I always use some kind of weight no matter how I am fishing them.

I've had real success using a wieghted 5/0 gamakatsu hook. letting it fall then picking it up and letting it fall again

I T-Rig with the lightest weight possible, then slowly drag, or hop along the bottom.

1300 B.C., very funny.
