Hooks for Stanley Top Toad?

[Grim_Reaver]

I'm looking to try the Stanley Top Toad due to my previous success with their ribbits. Will the Owner Double Toad hook (I'm an owner hooks guy) work or should I get the Stanley Double Take hooks and switch out the spring (I have a bunch of large size owner CPS springs laying around)?

They come with 5/0 frog hooks so I don't see why these wouldn't work.

I have used them and use the hook that comes in the package. The Ribbit double hooks are the only double hooks I buy. I prefer a single hook but never tried it on the floating Ribbits, I still use the Red Zoom Horny toad hooks on all my toads, the red hooks are my favorite. Seems to help.

 

The few times I have used the top toads, my hook up rate was not great, not sure if it is the bait or just user error at the time. I have landed 2 fish on them, both over 4lbs, so they definitely get strikes, just have not used them enough to say if it is as good for hook up ratio as the regular Ribbits, Horny Toads, Gambler Toad. I used to use the Larew floating toad....3 legged toad I think it was called? They worked great, tore easily, but is only floating model I ever had confidence in as easy to penetrate.

Alright, I'll keep your experiences in mind. Thanks for the replies.

I've never used the double hooks on my toads.  I use a VMC Drop Dead 4/0 1/16oz weighted hook for my toads though.  The weight keeps them upright so the hook point is on top of the toad.

Mustad KVD Grip-pin, I don't think they make a double tho.

These are supplemental in nature and very sneaky

I haven't either but I'm looking to experiment. I usually use the jungle wide gap and more recently the 4/0 beast hook for the purpose you suggested. I just wanted to try a toad that floats.
