Zoom makes a 5/0 EWG HOOK with a screw in keeper. Works great.

Try a Gamakatsu 4/0 EWG light wire worm hook. The lighter wire hook lets you retrieve a little slower, but it's plenty strong and big enough to get a good hookset.
A drop of fishing glue on the head or bend will keep the toad on the hook, even when you drag it through trash.
Attitude plus effort equal success
