bleak i caught alot of tench roach and skimmers on mine last year whilst others were struggling even using the same worms i found that if you werent catching much on larger sections the trick was to cut them up very small as small as a maggot maybe smaller and fishing tiny pieces on a size 18 then every so often use a larger piece, feed small balls every so often size of golf balls using the finely chopped worm and the actual compost or moil hill soil as a carrier to throw the bait in by hand fish right over the top.
My experience exactly, plus using half a worm with an added maggot since the worms are easily stolen, especially whole, due to their already mentioned softness. I'm going to try threading them on a short looped-back hair-rig when the weather's right for roach and rudd since they definitely pull the better fish IME than maggot do, once you get them feeding well. You miss more bites though.
