What is a worm hook used for?
A worm hook is the wide-gap fishing hook for plastic worms. The bend is made to hold a bulky worm, not a thin Texas offset only.

Extra gap for a fat worm or creature; still used on spinning kits. Different from an offset Texas hook.
When should you use a worm hook?
Use it when the bait is a plastic worm or creature that needs space in the bend.
What problems does a worm hook solve?
It keeps a fat worm from filling the gap so the point can still reach the fish.
