The bead to the head. A wary whitefish will usually circle the head of a hook and take the wire worm from the unbeaded tail end with the hook. And sometimes feeding whitefish just come in fast and hard from any angle. A beaded tail might be hard to have the hook stay horizontal on light line.
In February when lingcod are laying eggs, a copper colored bead on the tail end might be good. Lincod have copper colored eggs and the whitefish gobble them up. A few years a go someone on the the forum posted a good video of several whitefish following a spawning burbot in Sylvan lake.
Aside from wireworms, try some tiny yellow rubbertail jigs too.
