Make your own with SS welding wire and pliers. If you look closely you'll see the stress passes down from eye to eye and the keel adds the weight and keeps the tube from twisting the line if you have decent swivels.

In the article he talksa about a decent length leader between the keel weight and the tube.

As for the head hook, I'm sure an industrious individual could rig a T&W on an eel bob with a long tail hook, wheneit comes on the market Sandman and I get a piece...
