I almost exclusively use Berkley honey worms to fish for bluegill. They look like a mealworm/was worm. I hook them on the smallest salmon egg hooks I can find. You can rig them by running the hook through the top of the honey worm and pushing it up through the body of the honey worm or just hook through the middle like you would a wacky rigged plastic bass worm. The wacky rigged honeypot is my favorite way to fish it. I also put a couple of really small split shot sinkers about 12-18 inches above the hook.
I typically don't fish it under a bobber. I cast it out and let it sink. Once it reaches the bottom I jig it a couple of times and pause. Then I jig a couple of times then pause again. I repeat until I have reeled it in then repeat. This style of fishing for bluegill has always produced buckets of gills for me over the last couple of years. Hope it helps you get into some gills.
