Many sailors will plat dyneema or simular into a loop and use a bit of clear plastic tubing to hold shape.

Light weight, strong, cheap and easily replaced..... All plus.

I am looking at doing likewise but at the moment have 40mm stainless rings. With these small rings or loops.... To hook up, slide your thump through the loop and guide to hook. It sounds fiddly, but you will be supprised how easy it is and once you get in the habit, will only use this technique for hooking up.
