re: Lets talk soft plastic frogs/toads

Yeah I like the Booyah Pad Crashers and the Spro hollow bodies best.

The Pad Crashers are just frustrating, have to squeeze out all the water that fills me up and makes them not work as well. Used one this afternoon

What colors and rigs you using on those Zoom horny toads?

I must have bought three of the most 'sealed' pad crashers in the lot. I can fish all my pad crashers for a half hour, easy, without having to squeeze them.

However, I've heard other people say the same thing about 'em.

The bronzeye frogs/shads fill up too.

I bought a bronzeye shad when they first came out. I like the look of it, but it sits too low in the water for me to see while fishing it sitting down in my kayak.

I am going to first pick up a black SPRO since that seems to be what the ballers are having success on.

My old padcrasher is worn out and the leg skirt material has melted together so it will go in the trash.

My main concern with this post is the soft plastic toads. I am definately going to go back the the Ribbits since the Rage Toads dont seem to be very user friendly.

I actually wish I had brought my frog rod the other day at Indian Creek so the jackfish could tear it up as well

Almost never anymore unless schoolies.

Very nice.

Was there any specific reason you used that color frog over the black?

I like the Spro frogs, but a cheaper alternative is the Academy brand. Cost about half as much and has good hooks. As mentioned earlier, trim about an inch off one of the tails to get better action. We destroyed em last week on LakeFork on frogs. Over 50-60 a day. 3-5 pounders with the biggest being a 7.2. Nothing like watching big fish destroy a frog!! At least 50 lb braid for line IMO.
