I have had pretty good success with pink worms for both steelhead and springers, but I usually only go to them when the bait is gone or unavailable. I like to thread them onto a Hook just behind a #12 Chartreuse corkie, make sure to get at least 1/2" of worm ahead of the hook eye. You don't want too much worm tail behind the hook point or you will get a lot of short strikes.
