I like to use a short piece of rigging line on the hook and some spiders on that, that way you can use the spiders when you need to balance a section or just leave them hanging when you don't need them. The spiders are just a piece of 13mm climbing line with a loop either end, you tie a 6 wrap prussic onto the rigging line and adjust the length from there.

 

You can see it here:

In this one the top is slung right on the COG, ideally it would have been higher so that it stayed vertical but it was a particularly nasty crack willow, and I couldn't take the risk of the anchor point snapping:

Another heavy pick on the COG, a little too much tension here, it jumps off a little....
