Before you make too many, test 'em. I think you will find you want a belly hook (as you've mentioned) but also you will want to put the lip slot in the midline and the line tie below midline. Once you've got the belly hook in, balance the plug with the hooks attached and put your weight at the balance point (as a starting point). Good luck.
