Get a blow torch, copper wire, and some solder. Put one or two wraps of copper wire about 1/4" behind the eye of the hook. Heat up the hook and copper wire with blow torch, but not too hot, maybe 10 or 15 seconds tops. Then, just touch the solder to the copper wire, and you should get a good bead of solder that bonds the wire to the hook shank. Dip it in water to cool it off and you're done. Too much to explain the rest of it here, but the head hook should be 8/0 or 9/0 siwash.
