SUNFISH/BLUEGILL TECHNIQUES

i sometimes fish in a small lake near my house and there are bass, pike, crappie, pickerel and carp. I like to catch the small sunnies on ultralite tackle. i use wax worms on a # 8 hook and they often steal the bait off the hook without me feeling the bite, even on 4 pound test. any way to hook them without having them get your worm every time?? for every 2 pieces of bait i use i land 1 fish. also, is there any specific lure or small jig that you have found to work effectively with these little baitstealers??? i find these to be even worse than porgies and perch when it comes to stripping the bait off of the hook.

are garden worms still an effective bait when they are cut up? the ones i was going to use vary from about 3 to 8 inches in size. if i get about 6 8inchers,(cut into 1 inch pieces) would this be enough for 2 hours of fishing???
