Old plastic worms never die ... they just become hook guards. Many plastic tails are lost to fish or structure, but other survivors become destined for the garbage can for a variety of reasons. Rather than toss them, put them aside for use as hook guards. When you want to cover the hooks on a large lure, slip the whole body down over the hook's barbs or just tear off a chunk for Sabiki rigs or other small hooks. Just don't forget to pull the tails off before you start casting!
