Everything you need to know about fishing a toad
Take the midsection of the toad in one hand and the hook in the other and then put a slight bend in the back of the toad by pushing it
How to rig a toad - You can use a wide variety of hooks to rig a toad. Worm hooks, straight shank hooks, even double hooks and weighted hooks will work. But the best hook for most of these baits is an Extra Wide Gap (EWG) hook. Most toads are relatively thick compared to other soft plastics.
Purchase some live worms and crickets from your local pet store and carefully lower them into your toad's tank to feed it. You can also feed your toad insects you find in nature. Only feed your toad insects that will be able to easily fit in its mouth; otherwise, it might choke while trying to eat.
Toads are comfortable at room temperature and in ambient daylight, so you don't need to purchase any heaters or lamps for your toad. Keep the tank out of direct sunlight, because too much sun can hurt your toad. If you want to catch more than 1 toad to keep as a pet, you'll need a bigger tank.
Keep your toad in a 15 US gal (57 L) aquarium tank. A toad needs a good amount of space to hop around when it's kept as a pet. Purchase a 15 US gal (57 L) tank from a pet store or online to keep your toad in. The tank should be at least 24 inches (61 cm) long, 12 inches (30 cm) tall and 12 inches (30 cm) wide to keep your toad happy.
