I like a spro frog on Toledo, with a heavy action rod and 50 lb braid, I'll try to cast it way behind buck brush and work it out slowly, it's fun horsing them through all that crap

Serious shite then.

Hell yes

I always throw it on braid, but to each their own. Throw it on a twist lock 5/0 hook, cast and retrieve. Play with it a bit and the bass will tell you how fast or slow to crank. Like others said, when you get a strike wait for the bass to take it under and turn before you set the hook, otherwise watch out for flying frogs, actually just watch out anyway, frickers have a habit of coming back at you.

The ribbits are better looking, but I have always had better luck on the zoom horny toads.

I have some but haven't really thrown them to give them a fair chance. Lots of confidence in the ribbit. Didn't you fish the splash over the weekend?

When it is really calm, I do better on the Zoom Horney Toad as it is a subtler action. With a little chop, I prefer the ribit.

No. Caught fish all day but small fish. Then we went back to the same spot sunday for more small fish I guess. I was not happy. Had a blast at the resort though. Should have brought my little aluminum triton with 40hp and winged it.

That makes sense coco because I prefer to throw top water when its calm.

I have always slowed the retrieve way down and "waked" the frog, will have to try the horney toad next time.

ETA: You don't need a boat, just a better boat captain.

Nothing better than watching a bass knock a zara spook 4-5 feet into the air and the busting it again.

Heart attacks!
