I think it might vary with the situation. I use Loopers when fishing in current, but normally fish a lake with no current and don't have a problem keeping bait on my dip worm. In fact I catch weeds so often that need to be cleaned off the rig that I am rebaiting quite a bit. It has been said, but it is very important that the dip worm is dry when rebaiting, I use toilet paper to clean up and dry the worm. Lately I have been using Catfish Dynamite worms by Strike King, but found that most of the brands work fairly well for me as long as they are red, which I have found works better than other colors in this particular lake. Also, I remove the treble hook and very short leader from the dip worm and tie on a 4/0 Gamakatsu octopus circle hook, plus with a longer leader since for this lake I don't have to use a slip sinker.
