basspro215 Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 what do you guys think about the new paddle feet on the rubber frogs think improves them? Quote
Super User SoFlaBassAddict Posted February 14, 2010 Super User Posted February 14, 2010 I wouldn't necessarily say it improves. But it doesn't hurt them either. I'm assuming you're talking about toads like the Gambler Cane Toad, or the Yum Toad. They've just got a different action than something like a Zoom Horny Toad. The paddles kick up a little bit more water and make a little more noise. Sometimes this is good, sometimes not. The Rage line of topwaters (Shad/Toad) kick up a bunch of water and noise. This isn't always a good thing, sometimes you need something thats a little quieter. It's all dependent on the conditions of the water, fish, weather. All that being said, I throw Rage Shads and toads probably 50% of the time. A Zoom Horny toad 40% of the time, then the paddletails the last 10%. Quote

Super User Marty Posted February 15, 2010 Super User Posted February 15, 2010 Agree with a previous poster, the paddle feet are different, not necessarily an improvement. My partner fishes Horny Toads and I fish paddle feet. There have been times when one seems to outperform the other, but over the long run they've been about equal for us. Try some of each if you're unsure. Quote
Super User Big Bait Fishing Posted February 15, 2010 Super User Posted February 15, 2010 I am new to frog fishing so i'm going to try some hollow bodies an some cane toads an canyon plastic frog's with hollow cavities i've said it before and i'll say it again , in my opinion , the Canyon Plastics 4.5" frog is the best frog on the market , period Quote
Super User Crestliner2008 Posted February 15, 2010 Super User Posted February 15, 2010 You want to know something? I believe that it doesn't matter one iota what is crawling across the pads or thick vegetation. A bass feeds when the opportunity presents itself. It cannot evaluate that you are using a Bronzeye Frog or a Rage Tail! To think that is simply silly - IMO! Quote
Super User Big Bait Fishing Posted February 15, 2010 Super User Posted February 15, 2010 when a bass can not see it's prey , it relies on sound , different baits make different sounds . it is up to the bass as to what it thinks is or isn't their prey . to say it doesn't matter is ridiculous !!! if you think that then throw a stick tied to your line then and see if the bass will strike it : Quote
