Need some help with hook arrangement on this one.

Old Bagley's weighted bill is going to be epoxied into rear of lure that I have cut the front bill off. Plan on painting it in a craw pattern. If I run 2 trebles like in pic they will tangle. Thought about cutting off belly hanger and screwing in an eye screw 1/8"-1/4" toward the new bill. Or I could leave belly hanger alone and put a treble on it and a single stinger on the rear leaving the possibility to remove stinger and use as a topwater.

Just not sure which way to go.

What do ya'll think?

I'll be interested to see if it works.....considering the ballast is so far away from where it would typically be placed.

It still has the original ballast in the belly which when you turn it around it's to far back so that's why I went with the weighted bill so it would have a nose down attitude. I float tested it and it rests nose down. So I think it may work.

Maybe get a super short shank treble for the belly and clip off the downward pointing hook on the rear treble.

If that doesn't work you may just have to go with the belly hook only.
