If you don't want to braze you can use Owner Split Rings, they're heavy duty and not too big.

-You will need a small Split Ring Plier to open the split ring, these things are very strong and one slip will embed a hook into your hand.

I use either Owner X-66 Trebles, or a #5 Gorilla Ringed Hook (as a single)
-----------------------------------
Owner also makes a Solid SS ring that can be slid onto a split ring.
I use this smooth Solid Ring to tie on my mono.

There is one other option to install a single siwash hook.
Mustad makes a #7 and #8 SS Siwash with an open eye that can be closed down around your existing ring.
-Cut off your old worn out hook and install a new SS siwash...very easy to do.
The hooks are sold as a single piece for .77 cents and .88 cents respectively.

The solid ring on the knife jig is a #7.5 rated at 450 lbs. and an Owner split ring.
The #5 Gorilla Hook has a much stronger ring than other ringed gorillas.
