Reflex Jig Double Keeper

A while back TW had a sale on Xcite Baits Reflex football jigs, and I grabbed a bunch. They were advertised with two keepers, and they have a "standard" molded-in keeper and a bent wire one. However, instead of the wire one facing out like like a barb, the bent point faces in towards the shank of the hook. I've attached a quick sketch, because I don't have one in front of me.

 

Now this may be a silly question, but how am I supposed to use that one? If I try and slide the bait over it so it snugs against the molded keeper, the wire one  cuts the trailer as it goes on.

 

Do I pull the wire one away from the shank as I thread the trailer on, and let it "clip" it from the outside? If so, i still can't slide it up  way. What is the point of the other keeper if I can't slide the trailer up to it anyway?

 

I hope that makes sense, and thanks.
