Well I cheaped out and ordered my Amsteel Blue winch line without a hook because I thought I could use the one off my factory line. The thimble is too wide though for it to work so now I'm hunting for a good hook. Any ideas?

Rockstomper says you may need a connecting link to use a smaller hook (see link).

I got their giant hook with safety clasp but if I could do it again I'd get their interlocking hook. The giant hook works, but it just looks cartoonishly large.

masterpull has a set-up that works well

Almost forgot, on my first line, the thimble was too wide as well. I simply took a hammer and flattened it a bit so it would fit.
