BrettD Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 I've tried both and like the spro popping frog the best. The trick to getting better hook ups with one is bending the hooks up and out a little after I do this I hardly ever miss a fish with one. Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted April 11, 2013 Super User Posted April 11, 2013 I like the spro popping frog the best. You can walk the frog, pop the frog, fish it any way you want. My best spro frog fish. Nice fish! Nice low light photo! Jeff 1 Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted April 11, 2013 Super User Posted April 11, 2013 Well now...Do you have any pictures of a big fish? 1 Quote
BubbaDirt Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 I like both... the spro is high $$ though Quote
NEjitterbugger Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 Thanks for the help guys I think I'm going to pick up a spro frog on my next trip to bps. Is there a size I should get or a specific color? If your gunna pick up a spro you might as well pick up a scum frog I think they are like 2-4 bucks... I have never fished a hollow body frog but plan on it this summer, I picked up 4 or 5 scum frogs because they are cheap and people seem to do just fine with them... By the looks of them I think that it's a nice product but I can't be sure til I'm on the water. Quote
KY Outdoorsman Posted April 11, 2013 Author Posted April 11, 2013 I have 2 scum frogs. One is dark green and the other is neon I was jus gonna buy maybe a spro jus to try it out. I actually had a 3rd scum frog but my second to best bass crushed it and it ripped lol. Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted April 11, 2013 Super User Posted April 11, 2013 I think that the SPRO casts out easier than the scum frogs do. As far as catching goes, I have done better on a jitterbug. Quote
craww Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 They both work well..Don't be so quick to knock the scum frog, it has one thing on most every other frog made; a nice subtle touchdown in the water. This does matter at times in the shallows. I also like how collapsible it is. I don't recall what actual brand it was, but Ive had some of the spro style that the plastic was super stiff. The hooks aint that great, and will rust over time. But, its a 4 dollar bait that actually catches fish. The original spros are a great quality bait that have been blatantly copied as much as the senko. They're super durable, don't take on water as much as other frogs, and have a super sharp, strong hook. Quote
J.Bass Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 Not one of your options, but I pick a Live Target Hollow Frog over a SPRO. Each person likes different things. I had a SPRO Bronze Eye once, and never got a blowup on it. Seemed like it always walked to one side (maybe just me). But Koppers Frog, I have many fish on, Love the 65T size. Personally, just had more success and have more confidence in a Koppers than SPRO. But I'm sure there are fisherman out there that has more confidence in SPRO than Live Target. Confidence is EVERYTHING. To help build it, use the Scum and when you have a real good frog bite on, switch to the SPRO in the same color scheme. id say Spro frogs are good... I own the popper version and I love it! BUT since LIVE target frog come out.... This frog is real deal. Ive caught more bass on the live target than spro and scum frog. Id say this... Spro has more weight than live target and scum making it able to cast further. The thing I like about kopper live target frog is the softness. Overall any frog you get, you better get a trailor hook. Alot of short strikes happen and with the trailor hook you get over 1/2 of those bass that short strike. Quote
jignfule Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 Sorry I've only used Spro, but I caught HUNDREDS of bass last year on them. Quote
Blues19 Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 I really like the SPRO frogs. My two favorite colors are the white and Green Tree (pretty much FireTiger). When the legs melt or rip you can take a spinnerbait skirt and a collar for spinnerbait skirts and makes some new legs. if you cut a slit in the little let part that the soft legs come out of, you can superglue the collar with skirt into that leg and it will be pretty much like new. Its the silicon not rubber material but it still works and I have caught a bunch of fish on the same frog after replacing legs like that. Another thing I like about the frog is that it catches big fish. Id say 90% of my fish i have caught on it have been 3 lbs or more Quote
