Whacky Rigging Salt Stick Worms

I have had several fish get off on me throwing Senko clones in the last few
outings. I figured it was just me not getting a good hook set, but this
morning I had one come unbottoned that I can't figure out. I tossed it up
against a line of pencil tulies and I quickly noticed line starting to feed
out. I closed the bail and cranked in all my slack line before setting the
hook. I got a good hookset and managed to drag the bass out of the tulies
along with a couple of the fore mentioned tulies. I was dragging him along
with one of the weeds when he gave a good wiggle and came off.

I am currently using straight Mustad 2/0 weed guard hooks for this. When I
first started throwing stick worms whacky style I was using unguarded bait
holder hooks in #2 and #4 sizes. I definitely do not remember losing this
many fish on them. Any suggestions?
