4/0 EWG.

I am not familiar with the snakes but, would lend my experience with the manns hard nose baits.  I bought several packs of lizards and frogs last year.  I like the hardnose concept as it does hold your hook better and the bait does not tear up on the front end from hook sets.  The down side I saw, is the added weight the "hardnose" added to the front of the bait.  If I wanted to fish them weightless, they would not have a "slow" horizontal fall, instead they would nose dive.  Not a huge problem but not one that I liked with my frogs and creature type baits.  On the up side, I suppose it is like having a 1/16th oz weight pegged to your bait.
