Looking for a single hook for hanging a grub on In-Line spinner

I'm trying to find the right hook for a tough job. I use both spinner baits and in-line spinners at least 80% of the time when I fish. With the spinner baits, I usually like to add a grub tail to a color, vibration, and because it just really cool.

I have tried to swap a single hook (like a worm hook) for a treble hook and the fish seem to ready go after it. But, for a pike or musky sized lure, the size of the eye is to small to get a split ring through it and keep the range of motion that is typical of a treble hook.

I really like the quality of the VMC treble hooks and I am looking at possibly using something like Model #8294S FAULTLESS (stainless steel, forged, flatted, reversed) or Model #9299 FAULTLESS OCTOPUS (turned up eye, forged, reversed). To make these really work their best, I'll probably add a homemade screw lock of some type.

Any one have any information on either of these hooks or this lure design, I could really use your inputs. Thanks in advance.
