You can use a bullet head mold and a heavy hook and load the hole with glue when you seat it. I have had them hold for a long time...until the tail it self was shot. I made some with lead and some with tin and also some larger ones with epoxy and microballons for using them in shallow water. I think the tails are killer, almost magic at times.
I remember seeing a stress test he did but stressing them in a lab and getting leverage from the point of the hook to the eye is a different matter. You can bend that hook with 50# braid easy if snagged on the point. If you use the stock head you need to go light on the drag.
