Your Favorite Frog??? 2024


fishing user avatarfireandice reply : 

What is everyone's favorite frog these days?  The jig is my go-to bait of choice, but with all of the great frogs out now, I have jumped on the bandwagon just a bit.  I found these Lunker Frog's at Wal-Mart.  Wow.  Drag this dude over some lily pads, and DANG.  Just saying.  So what is the best in your opinion?  Spro, Lunker Frog, KVD ??  Colors?

fishing user avatarthe reel ess reply : 

It has been the original Snag Proof, but I just bought a bunch  off Amazon, so I'll probably be forming some new opinions soon.


fishing user avatarthe reel ess reply : 

BTW, I think frog color is about the least important thing to consider. How does a fish see anything but a silhouette when he looks at a frog against the sky. That goes for most topwaters IMO.

 

But I guess I would stick to the natural patterns. I do have a SPRO in all black, but just because they were out of the frog colors when I bought it. All the rest I have are some form of green or frog pattern.

I used to really like the scum frog ....... But nowadays I just get the h2o frog from academy.

Just as nice- at half the price.


fishing user avatarww2farmer reply : 

Booyah pad crasher, and the SK sexy frog. I like the booyah for sparser cover work, as it skips and walks better than the SK, and I use the SK for heavy matted stuff, it has a rattle in it,which, IMHO, helps in the thick stuff. Plus, it "sits" down into the cover a little more and moves more water, which also helps get more bites and hookups when I am frogging thick mats, etc....Those who frog a lot, know what I am talking about.


fishing user avatarthe reel ess reply : 

My current frog lineup. But I've only caught something off #2, 3 & 5, from the left post-53667-0-92439200-1436194951_thumb.j

DANG! And Scum Frog is only $3.79. I get you though...half the price of SPRO, etc.


fishing user avatarlmoore reply : 

I've spent 100's of hours with a frog over the past few years, and Booyah gets my money.  I still have plenty of Spros and a few LiveTargets and ***s around, but I feel like I get the better hookup ratio with the Booyahs. Probably just a confidence thing.  I do lots of modifications to them to change the action, sound, etc. 

 

Probably the best "modification" I do is to soak a few of them in some type of attractant the night before I'll be going.  I like an attractant with the consistency of runny snot.  Gets the frog all slimy and seems like they hold on to it a little better.

 

As for colors, don't know why I have anything outside of white or black.

Yeah...lol....I meant half the price of spro. But honestly, you can also get them for half the price of scum frog if you catch it.

I found a whole case of them, in a sexy shad color, and they had them marked $.68. I bought 12. I don't throw a frog much.....but they're sexy shad color is pretty dark and I've done well with it- so I picked up what to me may be a 3 year supply for less then 10bucks.

For that price I would knowingly buy an inferior product, not that this is an inferior product.


fishing user avatarDogmatic reply : 

Pad Crashers, Ish's Phat, for hollow bodies, but I use Spro, Lunkers, LT, & SK also. Case Plastics and 3:16 for plastic frog/toad. The 3:16 No Bull has been tearing it up on the ponds I fish.


fishing user avatarthe reel ess reply : 

If you guys like frog fishing, and you can stand Dave Mercer's (Facts Of Fishing) constant giggling, he has two shows about topwater frogging. The first one he did on a SUP board and it's now on YouTube. I like it better because it's more primitive. The second he did from his bass boat and it's current this week on WFN if you have that channel. It's on DISH Network, channel 394 I believe. They're very informative and answer a lot of the questions you hear over and over about frog fishing, at least from Dave's POV.

 

Looking at his frogs you'll see he trims a lot off the legs and leaves them uneven. It seems his opinion is, the sloppier the cover, the shorter the legs. He uses the Live Target brand. He misses a lot, but catches 22 in the bass boat episode. I think both episodes are filmed on the same body of water.

the spittin wa looks cool, but I have had nothing touch it. Have fished an entire bank with it and not had so much as a swirl, threw the poppin pad crasher over the same area not 15 minutes later, and destroyed fish in on it. Don't know what it is about it. 


fishing user avatarfishballer06 reply : 

The Lunker frog you posted in great in more open water. In heavier cover, I like most of the one's posted here like the Booyah Pad Crasher and Spro Bronzeye.

Could be the bigger size.  The 70 is bigger than the average frog.


fishing user avatarKyrazzy7 reply : 

Pad crasher in albino and cricket frog color. Works everytime


fishing user avatarthirtysixit reply : 
  1. KVD Sexy Frog

Black or white in color. The Sexy Frog was my first real confidence bait. You should get a couple.

fishing user avatarLunker Addict reply : 

I love my black Spro popping frog and so do the fish. It's about to the point that I will need to replace it.

You better believe in clear shallow water that the bass can see what color the sides are.

I bought one of these thinking it looked cool.  It broke in my hand trying to align the hook because it was VERY badly misaligned.  Never again, Seblie.  Never again.    


fishing user avatargulfcaptain reply : 

I only fish a handful of frogs 

 

Spro Bronze eye shad.....nasty shad color

Deps Slither Frog........black

 

And then there are the main players from Snag Proof

 

Bobby's Perfect Frog.....Freds Frog and Smoke

Ish's Phat and Poppin Phattie..........  Sexy Ish, Black, Cristyl, Freds Frog, and Platinum

 

Go to frog would be the Phat frog in Platium. 

 

No need for any other frogs other then maybe the small LT Field mouse (1/4oz size)


fishing user avatarFrogFreak reply : 

Booyah popping pad crasher.

Booyah pad crasher. I use this in thicker stuff.

Koppers live target. I don't buy them as much anymore but I still like them, just not their price tag.

 

Colors: Black, Leopard Frog and White. As others have stated, color doesn't matter until it does.

 

I look for the softness of the plastic first and foremost. These brands are soft and seem to have a better hook up ratio.


fishing user avatarJoe H. reply : 

Spro bronzeye frog 65, poppin' frog 60, and bronzeye shad 65. Next on my list to try is the king daddy. As you can see, I'm a fan of spro frogs.

fishing user avatarAdamsEye reply : 

I just snagged a couple LH frogs to try, but I find the spro's to be the best bang for buck and seem to revert to them.


fishing user avatarBocaGrande reply : 

Another vote for Spro Bronzeye :) love that thing


fishing user avatarA-Jay reply : 

After seeing the magic in one of BR member Frog Turd's videos, lately it's been the Spro Dean Rojas Bronzeye King Daddy.  Thanks Darryl.

 

btw - though they are a little tough to find, if you haven't started using the Lake Fork Tackle Frog "Tail Hook"  you might want to consider it.  Hooks up those short strikers and it amazingly weedless.

I like Teckel frogs! Did a review on them if you google my name followed by Teckel you'll see it. Not posting links to other sites. 


fishing user avatarjignfule reply : 

Fished with Spro for many years. Switched to BOOYAH PAD CRASHER.  Last much longer, half the price of Spro. and fish just as well if not better than Spro.


fishing user avatarthe reel ess reply : 

I caught a 3# on my Pad Crasher this evening. I guess it's my current fav.


fishing user avatarjtharris3 reply : 

I have quite a variety of frogs to choose from but, I find myself fishing the Booyah Pad Crasher the most. I like the action it has and I rarely miss with this frog.

You can cast it a mile.
