No secret....
First, use Canadian Nightcrawlers. Capture them without touching them with your bare hands. Some use green vegatable soap, I prefer to use rubber gloves.
Put a dozen or so into a cottage cheese box with several rolls of crumpled up news paper that has been wet with distilled (or rain) water. Put the boxes into the refridgerator. THe next day the worms will be big and fat because of turgidity caused by the distilled water. Also, their skin is tight and when they are touched the wiggle like crazy..

Tie a number 8 or 10 hook (would fit on the back of your little finger nail) directly to the 8 or 10lb test Garcia Bonyl line with a hangman's knot. I keep a couple hundred yards on the spinner real, and an extra wheel in the toolbox. Hook the worm through the nose and bring the hook out behind the sex band. Cast the worm into structure where Bass frequent. (Structure, as you know, is a whole other topic, but very important -- most a lake and it's shoreline is emtpy. Just like people, Bass congregate and travel certain routes by habit). When the worm get's to the bottom do the usual tug and reel in a foot or two, settle back to the bottom, tug in and reel in a foot or two.... etc.... Because you are fishing the bottom and/or structure, the hook often snags. I keep several boxes of hooks around. When the hook snags I immediately break it, reel in the line, retie a hook and rebait it (wash your hands with green vegatable soap or use surgical gloves to cover your scent!) and get the new worm back into the battle! WATCH very carefully where the line enterers the water. If a little fish hits there will be quick, sharp movements of the line (sort of like jerks) which cause significant ripples. A BIG fish, however, DOES NOT JERK the bait. They enhale it and taste it with organs in their mouth. If it doesn't taset right (human scent, etc...) they spit it out. Otherwise, they will begin cruising away slowly while they continue to taste or swallow the bait. The line, at the point where it enters the water, while start moving through the water slowly too, leaving a tiny wake, not a ring. Count FIVE when you see the line began moving in this manner and then give the 8 foot fiberglass fishing pole a strong pull up and back to set the hook. THen keep the pole tip up as you play the fish in. You are using only an 8-10lb test line because you are looking for invisibility. The line will break too easily if you don't use the flexibility of an 8' fishing pole - I use my fly pole, it's perfect.
If there are little fish swimming in the upper levels that don't allow the worm to get to the bottom, then tie a 1 foot length of 1 lb test line to the eye of the hook and the other end to a an egg size rock. When the rock hits the bottom give the line a sharp jerk and the 1 lb test line will break, usually near the hook, which leaves the worm on the bottom, attached to the 10lb line.
If you get the light brown line all the fish can see is the worm. The hook is buried, there is no hardware (shot, floats, spinners, etc.), no green glowing or white sparkling line, and NO giant hooks, etc...
