I am partial to Owner hooks and have been fishing with a standard 3/0 offset worm hook but I am missing a bunch of fish. I am thinking that a wide gap hook would be best. What are your opinions on which hook is best with the Horny Toads?

I like the wide-gap hooks. Its already hard enough to hook a fish on a frog and I believe the wide-gap helps with it.
I like the triangle weighted hooks.

I like the Zoom Horny Toad hooks. But a EWG Super Line hook will do the trick, too. Just take your pliers and bend the hook point outwards (open it up) ever so slightly.

coming unscrewed. try a drop of super glue on the wire while screwing into the frog.

Rage's will do that - they are a heavier frog and will tend to flip over if worked to fast....maybe use one of the weighted frog hooks....

Gotta have a wide bite hook for a wide bait. 3/0-4/0 EWG hook of your choice.

Gotta have a wide bite hook for a wide bait. 3/0-4/0 EWG hook of your choice. mine came with a 6/0 wide gap, with the screw lock.. maybe I'm fishing it too fast, but I though thats was what a "rage" tail was for..

Believe it or not, I have had much success in the summer fishing a zoom horny toad on a weighted swimbait hook. I throw all kind of frogs, but for horny toads this is my go to presentation
