Balshy Fishing Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 What size hook do you guys usually use on a zoom super fluke as well as a zoom horny toad? I've been using screw locks with both as well. Also, what are the top 3 colors for both? Opinions! Quote
Super User Raul Posted July 23, 2014 Super User Posted July 23, 2014 5/0 EWG for the Super Fluke, colors: Baitfish, White Ice, Baby Bass Horny Toad, can´t help you there, I don´t own and have never fished with one. Quote
Mr_Scrogg Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 "Zoom Horny Toad Hooks" They are made from a Gammy hook. http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTgjJLb3l5HGIZJt70E-DLSrLOjQ-nHLfNw9DmkAZFLyQhAqlvm Quote
Super User iabass8 Posted July 23, 2014 Super User Posted July 23, 2014 5/0 EWG for weightless flukes Pearl White Pearl White White Ice 5/0 or 6/0 screw in hook for Horny Toads. I really don't use these much anymore as I much prefer Rage Toads. White Black Blue/Black Quote
Avalonjohn44 Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 For the Horny Toad I use the Stanley Ribbit Double Take hooks. A bit pricey, but I hook up so much better with them than anything else. Gamakatsu makes a double frog hook as well. I haven't tried the gammys, been so happy with the Double Takes... 1 Quote
jignfule Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 horney toad and the like 6/0 flukes 4/0 or 5/0 color depends on what the bass want-white,baby bass, green pumpkin for fluke and dark color for toad Quote
TheSmilingSwordsman Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 I use a 3/0 on the Super Fluke. Have not used a Horny Toad Quote
Super User kickerfish1 Posted July 24, 2014 Super User Posted July 24, 2014 Flukes you can fish on a 3/0 or 4/0 EWG hook. I was skeptical on black but I have yet to find a better color day or night and any water clarity. Flat out catches em! Horny toad is a 5/0 hook. Either a super EWG or standard 5/0 EWG. Again black or green pumpkin would be good color choices. Quote
Back Country Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 For Horny Toads, I use 5/0 Pork-O's Lightn'in Strike Hooks (come in a five-pack). The guy that first turned me on to these would use super glue to hold the bait to the shrink-wrap.... I used to do that and found that it really wasn't necessary. Once I began using these hooks with the toads, I never looked back. http://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/strike-king-pork-o-s-lightn-in-strike-hooks-5-pack/pid-18899 Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted July 24, 2014 Super User Posted July 24, 2014 I guess I rig like everyone else, 3/0 or a 4/0 for the flukes. 5/0 or a 6/0 for the toads. Quote
Mr. BattleArmor Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 4/0 EWG for Super flukes, and I have the Zoom Horny toad hooks for those, but almost never fish them anyway. Quote
Super User AK-Jax86 Posted July 24, 2014 Super User Posted July 24, 2014 4/0 Stanley Ribbit Double Take hooks have a better hook up ratio IMO than other hooks for the horny toad. I don't fish flukes so I can't be of any help with that one Quote
Super User Catt Posted July 24, 2014 Super User Posted July 24, 2014 Mustad Ultra Point Ultra Lock 4/0 for both Fluke colors; watermelon slice, watermelon neon, & baby bass Horny Toad; watermelon neon Quote
RossCo91 Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 5/0 with Both.I try and get a thicker hook for the toads.My colours are Fluke:Water Melon RedWater Melon Baby Bass Toad:Water Melon Red Brown Pearl Water Melon Red And Always in a dip! Quote
C0lt Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 This is a personal opinion but I really do not like using a double hook on the horny toads. Due to their size I like to stick to a 5/0 screw in hook. As for colors, I have found that the white toads work really well with a red hook. Other than that I would go with black. I know nothing about flukes Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted July 24, 2014 Super User Posted July 24, 2014 I don't use the toad, but with the Super Fluke I use a 3/0 or 4/0 EWG gammy. My best colors are baby bass, white pearl, white ice, lemon shad, and arkansas shiner. Quote
jtharris3 Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 Super Fluke - 4/0 or 5/0 off set work hook. Don't fish the toad. Quote
Super User Munkin Posted July 25, 2014 Super User Posted July 25, 2014 Flukes: I pour my own but stick with shad colors Hooks for the flukes I believe are 3/0 light wire EWG but they maybe 4/0? I bought a 50 pack 3 years ago of the ones I liked and cannot remember the size? Toads: I have yet to find a color that doesn't work so I have been using the original color green pumkin w/pearl belly. Besides that I carry solid black and solid white but to me it is a topwater and only the belly color matters. As for hooks I quit using the Zoom toad hooks as the hook-up ratio was bad. The twin hooks like others have mentioned work but were a pain to rig? What I finally settled on is the heavy wire Owner twist lock hooks in 5/0. These are expensive at like $6 for 3 but I have yet to lose one and they are sharper with a better hook-up ratio. Allen Quote
