OIFBasser Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 I picked up 2 packs at Dicks 1- in foxy shad and 1 in black lab. They do seem on the heavy side. I worked it in my pond to test it out and felt ok with it. Quote
CHEVYRIDAZ Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 A frog can cause more disturbance in vegetation than the $ hound! Probably better hook ups as well! Yeah, because frogs have much better hookup ratios than a single EWG hook! : If you know how to use it it can be about the same! The body of the Hound is very bulky and i just don't see the hook ups being that great. I think they are made to catch fisherman and it is apparently working! Quote
Super User J Francho Posted October 3, 2009 Super User Posted October 3, 2009 Heddon made a VERY similar bait back in the early 90s. It sucked. Quote

The body of the Hound is very bulky and i just don't see the hook ups being that great. I think they are made to catch fisherman and it is apparently working! I doubt it. Anything with a single hook to drive through a fish's mouth is almost certainly more likely to hook a fish than a hollow bodied frog. I'll be testing them soon, you know, actually TRYING the bait. I'll let you know how it works. Quote
Super User Bassin_Fin@tic Posted October 3, 2009 Super User Posted October 3, 2009 Heddon made a VERY similar bait back in the early 90s. It sucked. That thing was a total turd. ;D One of the very few baits that I picked up casted about 3 times then tossed out. This is better than that at least. Quote
OIFBasser Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 I had better luck retrieving tip down, by far. I used a 5/0 EWG hook with it. Also, I rigged backwards a couple of casts and did better with tip up. The bait itself gives a very wide movement when worked probably 3-4 inches, does great as far as being weedless. I used it last night for about a half an hour and caught 1 ok bass on it. I think it has its uses, but won't be a goto bait for me anytime soon. Also, something I noticed was when reeled in quickly, it can be walked under the water. Quote
