If I read your question correctly, you need to expose more hook. Like Marty mentioned there are jig heads with barbs on them. Most of the time you need to trim them a bit with a razor, because they are usually made for plastic baits with a larger circumference than that of a pink worm. Also, I haven't tried this, but I read in a bass magazine once that a drop off superglue will help hold the plastic bait to the jig head.
