JBogg7509 Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 Anybody ever use the Stanley Jigs Ribbit Double Take hooks when rigging a Zoom Horny Toad? Making my list for the next trip to BPS and was just curious. Thanks in advance. Quote
Super User Catt Posted April 28, 2014 Super User Posted April 28, 2014 I've found the Double Take in 4/0 - 5/0 which maybe to big for the Horny Toad. Quote
SwampLife Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 I have some double takes for my Stanley ribbits but never use them.. my hook up percentage is wayy wayy higher with just a regular 4 or 5/0 ewg with a twist lock ... Zoom makes hooks specifically for horny toads they have them on TW. Not sure if they are good or not. Quote
Hanover_Yakker Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 I used the Zoom Horny Toad hooks all the time when I first started using Ribbits and never had an issue with hookups. I tried the double take hooks fut found them to be too large for the standard Ribbits. I think they were designed primarily for the Bull Ribbits. Either way, I tried them and didn't like them. They ended up causing too many legs getting ripped off, because the hooks penetrate at the legs and not in the main body. I switched back to the traditional EWG hook with a keeper pin. Quote
STPC Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 My luck with zoom's horny toad hook has not been too good. It tends to tear up your toad far quicker than a 5/0 or 4/0 EWG. Hookups also are harder to come by with the zoom hook b/c in my experience it makes the toad keep flipping over. Quote
JBogg7509 Posted April 28, 2014 Author Posted April 28, 2014 Perfect. Just what I needed to know. Thanks guys! Quote
