Best hollow bodied frog? 2024
MichaelJ7 reply :
I have fished Spro before. I really like the KVD Sexy Frog. What do you guys prefer? Maybe something different than these two?
wisconsin heat reply :
My favorite is the Spro Popper. I've had now 4 Spro originals and 3 of them have sunk either out of the package or after first use, so not going back to them. I do really like the Booyah Pad Crashers - they walk well, collapse easily and straight up catch fish. I'm excited for their Toad Runner to come out.

River 2 sea, my favorite frog and I have em all.

I am a Booyah Pad Crasher guy. Caught my PB during a tournament last year on a white pad crasher. It weighed 7.8lbs. The Pad Crasher is the most affordable frog, along with its durability and all the right colors, I will continue to use these over the other frog brands.

Booyah Pad Crasher. I like the softness of the body. I've had the most success hook up wise with these.

Booyah Popping Pad Crasher are my go to.
ClackerBuzz reply :
I like weight to my frog so I can flick it a good distance with a roll of the wrists. returned a pad crusher b/c it was too light for my liking. I don't like to fight the wind with lures either. For that reason I like River2Sea Bully Wa 2. next order I'm getting 3/4 oz Ish Monroe Phat Matt Daddy. I thumb break my frogs for a soft landing so why not go heavier and make life easy.
All Day Fishing reply :
Another vote for Booyah Pad Crasher, they're cheap and a good product.
frogflogger reply :
I like to throw a furbit on a breezy day - 20+ over 7# - lost count of the over 5's - if the wind is blowing throw a furbit - even after moving back north I find it is still very effective - it has worked on deep clear lakes for me at times.
Fragile buggers though - I end up tie wrapping and gluing them together and replacing the rabbit strip tails as they get eaten off - if the wind isn't blowing many other frogs will get bit but if it is windy I'll always have "furby" tied on.
Ratherbfishing reply :
I love the Snag Proof Moss Mouse. I really don't think the bass think it's a mouse OR a frog but, instead, a dying fish (shad) but it matters not. It's durable, doesn't fill up with water quickly, has excellent hook ratios and doesn't break the bank. I never hear people talk about them which is a shame.
Way north bass guy reply :
I’ve had really good success with both the live target frog and sunfish. Seems like when they’re a little lockjawed the smaller sunfish will get a few more bites than the larger frog.

Works as good as any mentioned here for a whole lot less!

I like Pad Crashers, the smaller Live Target frogs, and the weirdo Bassyriski.

MichaelJ7 reply :
Is the pad crashed so popular because of the price point? I just feel like there are other frogs that look/feel better. Haven’t thrown a pad crashed yet. Love the hookup ratio on a sexy frog and how well it walks but I’m open to trying.
J Francho reply :
The Pad Crasher is pretty similar to the Spro frog in weight, shape, and walking action. The plastic is a little softer, though.

I have both Spro and Booyah frogs. I prefer the Booyah and it has nothing to do with price. Throwing them in the same pond over a period of 5 days this past summer, I had a much higher hook up ratio with the Booyahs. Was it variables I can’t account for? Possibly. But I have confidence in the Booyah frogs now and the Spros just sit in my box. Maybe I got a ‘bad’ batch, but the Spros seem to be much stiffer in the body than the Booyah frogs. Which could account for the lower number of hook ups I got fishing them. I do wish that I could get pure white Booyah frogs though. I’d like to try painting/coloring some myself so they’re completely unique.

The softer body was the reason I liked the KVD frogs better. Had a better hookup ratio and I feel that this played a part. It sounds like I need to invest in a couple pad crashers

Never tried any of the KVD frogs. They’re not really available locally, so I didn’t even think about checking them out. If you end up liking them, let me know. Can’t ever have enough frogs.

I agree with this. You ever have any durability issues like I’ve heard before about the pad crashers? I know my KVD sexy frogs have been through hell and back and still fish like new.
Lead Head reply :
+1 for pad crashers (mostly poppin)
In my experience they hold up about as long as a spro, but don't take in as much water. Managed to get a whole summer out of 1 before it finally ripped apart, and I threw it a lot. It had caught enough bass (and been assassaulted by many gar) that I wasn't surprised when it finally failed.
Can't speak for any other brands, but I definitely prefer pad crashers over spro.
Finnz922 reply :
I have no issues hooking up with Spros. I don't fish any other brands. I do want to try the new Fred Roumbanis and Ish Monroe frogs.
My father in law swears by Kopper's Live Targets.

I haven’t had any issues yet, but I didn’t start fishing them hard until this past summer. They get scraped up (What frog wouldn’t?), but they held up fine so far. No perceptible decline in performance.
AnotherSenkoQuestion reply :
I like the Save Gear frogs that you can pick up at Dicks. The larger popper weighs 3/4 oz so I can cast further.
For 5 bucks a pop or buy 2 get 1 free(I think that was deal), can't go wrong.

I will say the pad crasher is probably the best value frog on the market. Ol smokey is a great color
FryDog62 reply :
My biggest problem fishing frogs is the hook up percentage. Has anyone used Lunkerhunt Prop Frog? It has the third hook (stinger off the back) and is still weedless. I need a new frog that hooks them better !!

I see a lot of people struggle with this and if it’s smaller fish I get it. But most people’s problem is setting the hook too soon. Let em’ eat it for a couple seconds

Pad Crasher all the way.
iceintheveins reply :
Live Target. Also really like the Strike King Wobbletron for a buzzing type frog.
Pitch'nCypress reply :
Pad crashers and snagproof phat frogs are my favs. High hook up percentages with both. Phat frog is heavier but add BB's to pad crashers if needed.
CTBassin860 reply :
Also.... If you're not modifying the hooks (bend out and up) or trimming the skirts to increase hook up ratio, you may be doing to wrong.

Try a Lake Fork Tackle Frog Trailer hook; it will help your hook ups on whatever frog you use.
I will also agree with those that suggested the Booyah Pad Crasher as the best value/performing frog.
