last time i was at the springville walmart i saw a deal too good to pass up, strike king 3x finesse worms, zulu jerk baits, and centipedes, in assorted colors for $.25 a pack, i wiped the basket out, i bought all $3.50 worth of them, they are all super floating garlic salt scented. now my questions are what would be the best way to rig them (diagrams would help) and have any of you used them and have you had any success with them.
Now i just need to find a bass water and try them out for my self.

I would give them away as xmas presents. They pretty much suited to shallow water largemouth fisheries. This is pretty much smallmouth country with the exception of Utah Lake, Mantua, Powell, and Quail/Sand hollow. Only Utah Lake fits the profile, you can walk out on Utah Lake on foot.
Texas/Carolina rigs are the only way to rig them. Usually the colors will be all wrong ie they resemble local forage.

They would make cheap xmas presents, the colors that i got though are chartreuse, pumpkin green, watermelon seed, pumpkinseed, and chartreuse pepper. I will have to try them if i can get the GF's stepmom to take us to powell. could/can i use them to target smallies if i was to rig it then tie a weight on the line a little bit below it? (i dont know the name of that setup)

i would say try them out in various rigs. things catch fish dont get caught up on the traditional baits. i have caught bass on other types of lures and baits that wih the technique noone would believe that i caught them that way.

The rig with the weight on the bottom is called a dropshot rig. Try the dropshot rig with those finesse worms, that should do the trick for some smallies. If the worms are longer than four inches I would trim down the top for the smallies. Leave the tail alone, that's where all the action is. Just nose rig them, and make sure you work it slow, and always give your line slack after jigging, allowing the jig to settle to the bottom before giving it another tug. Holding the line tight and shaking the rod can also provoke bites.
