Soft body frog hooks?

What does everyone use as a hook on a soft body frog like a Zoom Horny Toad? I don't throw these very often but definitely would like to start doing it more. Also what is everyones favorite soft body frog? I've pretty much only used the Zoom horny toad.

Strike King Rage Toad

4/0 or 5/0 Mustad Power Lock unweighted or weighted hook in open water and pads

In reeds or super heavy cover I use the Fin-Tech Title SHot jig 1/8 oz 5/0, protects the nose of the frog when it bumps heavy cover.

I started using these a few years ago and they see more action than the hollow body frogs for me now. They can get BLOWN UP! I usually rig them with a 5/0 Swimbait hook with a screw attached to the eye. They make Zoom Horny Toad hook which is exactly what I described - if you can find them they come in a 2-pack.

For Horny Toads I now use a 4/0 Stanley Ribbit Double Take Hook. They are expensive hooks, so I throw them with 35lb Tyger Leader to protect from Pike breaking me off. I bet I get an extra 20 to 30% hook up rate using these hooks. I used to use single hook Owners and Mustad Power Lock hooks with the Owner Twistlock's for the hook keeper.
