What is your favorite EWG hook (weighted or unweighted)  and size that you use for Toads ?

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 .

5/0 mustad grip pin. I can get by with a 4/0 if needed. I don't prefer weighted hooks  for toads.

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.).

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.
