Yes, pin it, but not with a toothpick. Put a loop of heavy mono through the cheater (more buoyant than corkies IMO) and pull through a section of UV yarn, sparkly chenille, or what have you. It's got even more action than the worm and is kind of a combo bait. You can even pin it 12" above the worm and then put a small bead by the head of the worm to protect it. I like to pinch the heads off of the pink worms and melt on the head of a black worm or white worm for contrast. The sky's the limit...
