Super User ChrisD46 Posted March 15, 2020 Super User Posted March 15, 2020 What is your favorite EWG hook (weighted or unweighted) and size that you use for Toads ? 1 Quote
OnthePotomac Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 I use these and depending on the size of you bait you can use a 4/0, or 5/0. Very, very effective in hook ups and no toad roll. https://www.cabelas.com/browse.cmd?categoryId=734095080&CQ_search=toad+hooks&CQ_zstype=REG Quote
Super User scaleface Posted March 15, 2020 Super User Posted March 15, 2020 I use 4.0 Berkely Fushion EWG on a Stanley Ribbett . I rig it a little short so there is a slight bow in the belly like a canoe . This will keep the bait from rolling over . Then I have these little rubber disc i punch out of a bicycle inner-tube with a 1/4 inch hole punch . Before inserting the hook back in the toad , poke it through the disc then run the hook through the toad and place the point in the slot . It doesnt have to be skin hooked , just let it lay in there . Slide the rubber disc tight against the toad and it will remain in place . On the hook-set it will slide down the shank . I'm fairly new at Toad fishing and this is the best I have come up with . I also use a barrel swivel on the line and the hook to keep the toad from sliding down . The swivel trick is used on Texas rigs too . Quote
keagbassr Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 5/0 mustad grip pin. I can get by with a 4/0 if needed. I don't prefer weighted hooks for toads. Quote
Super User ChrisD46 Posted March 16, 2020 Author Super User Posted March 16, 2020 Thanks for replies to date - While the Moaner brand EWG (weighted / unweighted) I'm looking for EWG toad hooks I can but locally (i.e. BPS , DSG , Cabela's , etc.). Quote
CountryboyinDC Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 5/0 Eagle Claw Razor Sharp. Depending on the toad, I'll either put a small keel weight (BPS has crimp-on hook weights) or just fish it without weight. Quote
