New Favorite Top Water 2025

Strike King Rage Toad
I caught so many bass on these today I almost didn't even want to hook them any more unless I knew it was 3# or more.
They really wore out the bass today like nothing else. As for fish catching potential there great, but that's about all its got going for it in my opinion. They for sure are not winning any awards for casting distance. As for durability they don't seem that great either. I didn't have all my tackle with me so I didn't have twist locks and had to use normal hooks but either way after a few decent fish they were wasted and I had to put on a new one. It would be much cooler if they made them out of that new plastic they make worms with that last for about ever. At $6 for a 5 pack there sorta expensive for plastics but if they keep catching fish like they did I guess you cant put a price on that.

Glad you like'em hatrix 
and you might ck out *** as well as other distributors that have better prices. Some folks charge more than others and we really have a time keeping them from it. Your thought about screw lock hooks is correct though. I use the Moaner Stroker 5/0 or 6/0 with the 6/0 being my favorite. Sure glad you had a GREAT day and when you get into'em like that... There's nothing like it, it's beyond exciting!

I love these toads and if I can catch 3-4 fish per bait, that's as good as any other brand. As for price, might be a good time to jump at a sale a website sponsor has going right now. check it out here: http://www.basstackledepot.com/search.aspx?find=rage+toad

Rage Toads and Shad and Mend-it are matches made in Heaven. I am reasonably sure I have ~100 hits/strikes/hooksets/fish landed on a pack to Rage Shad and I do 90% of my fishing in a pond that is more Pickerel than water...
philsoreel reply :
I can't get anything out of the shads for the life of me. I've tried them in Gold & Silver Bling, Smokey shad, black neon. I've fished them fast and slow, stop and go, weightless, slightly weighted keel hooks. Different sizes and style hooks. I've even dyed all those colors with red, blue, green, and chart. spike it. I must just be at the wrong place, wrong time with them because I know plenty of folks that catch fish on them and walmart stays sold out of them. 
hatrix reply :
Well I took my little 11 year old cousin finshing and we fished for about 3 hours. We burned through 4 packs of them and caught 100 fish or more between the 2 of us. The bite was really on and he had a amazing time so it was more then worth it. I think he caught the most fish ever today and next time we will try to beat that record.
hatrix reply :
I almost forgot. On a side note there was a fish I knew was sitting back in this little cut so I decided to try something. I got the same fish to bite 6 times in a row on 6 consecutive casts. That was pretty incredible to me and blew my mind a little bit. I was pretty impressed with these baits after that. I have had a fish bite 2 or 3 times but never 6 and not 6 casts in a row!
Big-O reply :
That single fish must have been guarding a bed or possibly it was a territorial reaction strike. Usually if you hook'em once, they refuse to bite again!
Glad you and your little cousin enjoyed the day... Sounded like a GOOD ONE FOR SURE

I didn't hook it. I was just letting it bite to see how many times it would. As for bedding I think that is over with. At least for now it is where I am located.

I've never tried these. Do they float if you fish them weightless?

These frogs sink.You reel them on the surface of the water and the legs churns up the water like a buzzbait.There pretty good baits I just wish they wouldn't slip on the hook.
JaxBasser reply :
I've been fishing the rage craw as a topwater and the fish have been killing it. Such a versatile bait.
Bass_Fanatic reply :
All RT products can be fished on top of the water with great results. My favorite is the Space Monkey. It just "crawls" across the surface and is something that the fish dont see often. The RT products are definatly the most versital plastics Ive found.
Also, tie on an Anaconda and reel it through grass just under the surface and hold on!! Make sure you use braid because they will hit it so hard that they hook themselves!
hatrix reply :
They sink slowly but once you get it on the top of the water they stay up pretty easily. I reel it about as slow as I can and still keep it on top of the water. I used some more of them today and they worked great again but... They seemed to roll every once in a while on me. I imagine I could fix that with a swivel but I think the baits are designed to flip right side up if it lands upside down. Either way right side up or upside down it still catches fish for me.

Go to a Moaner 6/0 just like Big-O said. I'd bet that I have 40% less damage to baits from the use of Owner and Moaner hooks. Of the two, I'd take Moaner on everything except finesse hooks.
Jim McC reply :
What's the proper way to hook the Rage Toad? Does the point of the hook face up or down?

X2 on that never heard of them before and I follow the tackle industry like a Hawk.
Have you spelled that correctly? because I checked on TW.com and could find anything under "Moaner"
