Back in the day I used dew worms often later in the season. I found it made no difference how they were rigged, just had to find the fish, same as today.  Keep it simple - use a larger hook say a 2/0, and just pile it on the hook into a big writhing gooey mess.  If you want some colour add a small piece of wool to the bait loop or half hitched to your leader, slid down to the hook eye.  A very deadly bait when fish have seen and smelled ...  everything else.
