Default Killer Frog

The Gamakatsu EWG hooks work better in the 4/0. I do see what you are
saying, the owner came through the bait so far forward that the hook point
went past the slot, where the Gamakatsu point was just at the beginning of
the slot.

With the Horney toads, we used the 4/0 texposer hooks. These may work well
for our frogs too, but you still want to use some sort of pegging system.
I'll have more hook info on the frogs after the weekend. I think its Gammy
who puts out the new Z-Lock tube hooks. They have an extra bend where the
bait holds to the hook. it's a widegap hook as well. I may try them and will
get back to you.

Bob, The 3/0 from Owner was much too small. I would definately go with a
4/0
regardless of manufacturer.


A lot of the Owner hooks are shorter front to back than other brands
of the same size.

Compare an Owner Riggin' Hook to a Gamakatsu EWG Super Line hook for
instance.
