I’ve fished it bout every way possible. That method is productive for sure. I prefer to twitch it on a 1.5 gram jig head. Check out my channel to see all the specie of fish it does catch.

Small lures catch everything that swims. Last Wed. I caught a large bass and pickerel on 1.5" soft plastics. All size fish and fish species will strike soft plastics as well a overhead spinners with soft plastics (the ol' Beetle Spin).
YUM Ribbontail Grubs and Berkley PowerBait Ribbontail Grubs have the best curl tail shapes IMO. I rig them on 1/16 oz and 1/24 oz jigs.
Even the body with the curl tail cut off can catch just as many fish.

I keep telling myself, you gotta hang small soft plastics under a float, but never do it. It will happen (but not this year).
Don't be surprised if you catch some rather large fish using small soft plastics like this white sucker caught on a Crappie Magnet:
.... as well as large catfish:
Kut Tail worms on light jigs catches crappie galore!:
...as well as perch on this Softie Worm
I have a mold for some 1" power nymphs and gills love them.
You just want "action" on small Gills & such .... you might consider these : 1/4'"' LONG AND COMES IN SMALL JAR TO KEEP IN FRESHNESS
I'll assume your "regular hook" is either a #4 or #6 ... if so, you could thread them on like you would a wax worm.
(Note: Shipping is $5.69 so you might want to purchase several containers of different scents)
They can also be used like a "nibble" on your jig, to add color & scent.
