You could try a "crimp cover" style bead. These are the old "mash it into round with pliers" style. It's got a small hole as the hook doesn't have to thread through it.

That's the Black Nickle style, the plain copper, or brass are much cheaper.

These old beads fell out of fashion once beads for fly tying appeared - but the functional characteristic still works. Drop it onto the hook and squeeze it closed.
