Zoom Super Fluke & Zoom Horny Toad

Featured Replies

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!

 5/0 EWG for weightless flukes

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

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...

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

I use a 3/0 on the Super Fluke.

Have not used a Horny Toad

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.

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.

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.

4/0 EWG for Super flukes, and I have the Zoom Horny toad hooks for those, but almost never fish them anyway.

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

And Always in a dip!

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

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.

Super Fluke - 4/0 or 5/0 off set work hook.

 

Don't fish the toad.

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.
