I keep one or 2 6/0 vmc siwash hooks in my truck for this. If you do rig one up on the fly, really ram the shaft of the hook down its throght and poke the hook out its belly. The 6/0 are pushing too small IMO, the bigger the hook the better, as the hook acts as a keel, so maybe a 8/0 would be a better choice.
