Having had good luck with single twister tails, I thought I might do even better with double twister tails, but the opposite seems to be true. I am fishing clear water and wonder if the presentation looks unnatural.

It would depend on what the forage is. If the single twister tail resembles something that they are eating then your going to have more success. If the double tail looks nothing like what they are feeding on, then it's more than likely they will pass it up. So, I guess the answer is yes. It might look unnatural to them in that particular body of water.
Stick with what is working.
Just my opinion.

Double twister tails are a "sometimes thing". Some guys swear by them. For me... prefer singles, power leeches, paddle tailed grubs etc. Doubles have worked best for me when drift jigging in currant. Doubles never seem to sit straight on the hook for very long. I figure, if they don't look right to me, they probably won't look right to the fish either. Good luck. Let us know how they work for you.

Generally, I have had my best luck with the double tails only in low light and / or very deep situations, jigged vertically.
I'd imagine the double gives off more vibrations.

The double tails make an easier target in muddy or stained water. More noise, slower fall and just plain more to see. In clear water w/ neutral fish, they may be a bit much.

Juls hit the nail on the head I think. I see a definite increase in there productivity in early spring and again in the fall for walleye.
There bulk and character tend to provide for a slower presentation and even alow for a jig to hover slightly in current, a big plus in cold water. I keep 100 count bags on hand in white, yellow, black, and lime green all season long, but especially in the fall!

Double tails sure come in handy when fish snaggy areas, when a bottom drag is needed and I can not keep a single on doubling up helps. Both jigging and casting jigs.
