Rigging Horny Toad

I have ben messing around with the Horny Toad and was wondering what is the best hook size and style to use? Any ideas?

I also have a picture and some info on it under the thouroughly confused Post.. also if you go to google and type in rigging horny toads it will give you a bunch of links.

I had the same question. Go to Bob’s Bait and Tackle and Scott will hook you up. The best rig is a 5/0 jig hook (though Zoom has their own line now, I believe) with a hitch-hiker put on the eye of the hook. This jig hook is like a big wide gap hook without the offset part by the eye. It just kind of angles off the bend about 25 degrees. A hitch-hiker looks like a little spring, and you just end up putting the nose of the toad on the hitch-hiker and burying the point of the hook into the body of the toad like a texas rig.
