Or, do you pull enough line through, tie in the upper and then finish on the lower (top one would have one knot)?
Snap ... I pre-tie all my most productive combos' at home starting with a mini barrel swivel then 4-5 ft of either 4 or 6 lb floro line. Approx. 12-14" from the bottom I tie on my first W/W, my preference is the Triline knot as I had a few of the Palomar knots fail, then I tie the bottom W/W on the tag end and in shallow water I try to keep the 2 W/W's about 8-10 " apart, this way when you raise & let the W/W float down then twitch 1 or 2 times, it ensures the presentation is always in the strike zone.

I find the Triline knot is easier to get the W/W to sit horizontal, if you can't get them positioned properly, it's a long day staring down the hole.

As mentioned I keep my most productive W/W combo's separated so they're easy to change out & don't get tangled up, I see some guys use a pool noodle and do the same.

Trust this helps,

David
