Are you saying you just have line/double-hook setup ran through and use the dough-bait to stuff in there? I have been having great times w/ just dual-hook threaded worm and the garlic power egg at the leading hook right above the threaded worm head.

Sometimes I cut a portion of the skirt off to shorten it up and decrease the soft bites that don't get the hook. I am inept and haven't worked on tying my own double hooks. We were looking for a way to use power bait and keep it on there bite after bite (same idea for the invention of power eggs). Early in the spring, most of the big fish were gobbling red chronomids (or something similar) that was the reason for red.
