Topwater frog question

[Dakota Kid]

If you invest in frogs, don't skimp. $8 a frog is about right. I like the Spros or the Reaction Innovations. Spros are a little fatter and sit better in the water, but the R I's are a little thinner and longer. Man, they are a big fish bait.

Hey Stoner, I usually through them in any slop.Weeds, pond scum, brush, willows, hydrilla, any where. If you can't get a buzzbait through it, throw a frog. You can through a frog through a tree and it won't hang up. I do have better luck if there is some kind of corver. I have thrown them in open water, but in my experiences, the open water kind of needs to be fairly skinny. Backs of bays or shallow flats. I've caught good fish in 80 deg water less than a foot deep in grass at Patoka. There is no topwater bite like a frog! Big bait, big fish. They hit it to kill it! I hTink that I am gonna try the Rage Tails this spring. The shad ones look like they will put a hurtin on the fish that are chasing shad.

I fish horny toads all the time starting in the spring. I've pretty much found that it makes no difference if the bait runs upside down or not as long as it's producing a good sound and vibration.

Thanks for the info I do like the looks of the spro frog. I'm just reluctant to throw them if there is no slop to throw them in...marshy grassy slop that is. I will try them in the brush and laydowns though.

I'm with you on this. I have fished them for many years and as long as the hook is not exposed to grab grass it doesn't really matter to the fish.
