| Both of mine did the same, ended up cutting it in two, and basically make a jointed version, where the rear prop is on its own section, and wire through the front and middle section is glued to the middle section, that does not spin.

Interesting....would like to see a pic or two of your remake. How are you connecting the jointed sections....I assume with a with a split ring? |

| Like this,
It is possible for the rear section to catch on the front hook, should have given it some shrink tubing to stiffen it up a bit.

| Both of mine still made a load of line twist, even with a brand new ball bearing swivel. |

Location: Montreal, Que. Canada | The front and back are counter rotating so there shouldn't be line twist .Unless the shrink rap tubing is firmly around the beads or bead could be one thing? Try trimming off some of the tubing, just cleaning it up some where beads touch the rear prop. For hooks Eagle Claw 774 5/0 on both belly and back has been working for us. |

Location: SE, WI. | I started building my Double Headbanger back around 1993. Got the Idea from Hi-fin dbl teaser tail, which had 2 props in rear of bait. Problem was the pressure the front prop put on the back, and rear prop would freeze up. They pinched a Rivet, but rarely held position on wire. I put a slight bend in Wire in front of rear prop, similar to the topper stopper bend ,BUT not quite aggressive, then Matched up a solid beads hole,W/wire Diameter, then pinched it in vise + superglue, so middle body would not touch rear rotation prop. Caught lots of nice fish on these...with zero line twists... JD

| I split ring and extra ball bearing swivel to the front, connect leader to that.... simple... seems to do the trick. |
