Two main style of chain hooks are "Grab Hooks" or "Slip Hooks"...
Grab hooks are sized according to chain size.... 5/16 chain, 5/16 hooks.... 3/8 chain, 3/8 hooks... It all (basically) about slot size of hook...Clevis pin usually is match for chain and slot size...
Slip hooks are usually sized by size of clevis pin (according to chain link size).... You are not going to put a 3/8 pin through 1/4 inch chain...
Do GOOGLE IMAGE search for "chain hooks", you will be amazed what is out there...

Pictured was neither a grab hook or slip hook. I know that hook will slip, but looks like it's less likely to come unhooked than a slip hook. That's why I asked what it's called.
I will just search Amazon for "hook"
We call them "Forest" hooks, they are very popular with the the logging/skidding people since they do not snag on things.
