Weld's Largemouth Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Hello everyone, I've been looking to get into frog fishing and im going to buy a spro topwater frog. I am stuck on which one to buy and which colors. So what is each spro frog's advantage and which is your favorite? Which are the best colors for day w/ clear skies, day w/ clouds and nighttime Thanks - Welds Quote
Super User Master Bait'r Posted May 27, 2014 Super User Posted May 27, 2014 one of each should be a decent start Quote

doyle8218 Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 White bottom in bright sun - Black or dark bottom ar night or heavy clouds. Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted May 27, 2014 Super User Posted May 27, 2014 White bottom in bright sun - Black or dark bottom ar night or heavy clouds. Interesting I do the complete opposite and my frogs still get slammed. huh..... Quote

Global Moderator Mike L Posted May 27, 2014 Global Moderator Posted May 27, 2014 I stay in the natural colors, green, yellow and sometimes black. And I'll tell ya I've caught fish on every color regardless of conditions, but I have noticed that a lighter colored bottom (which is really all the bass will see) in the morning fog and cloudy overcast days will get more hits. For a non poping frog I throw the Scum now more than a Spro. I like that it's much softer and I tend to be able to walk that thing in place better than the Spro. The Spro popping frog, with one side of the "legs" cut about 1/2 inch up is as good as any others. Imho Mike Quote
jignfule Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 I used Spro for years and have changed over to Booyhah Pad Crashers. They work just as well,but are less money and are a lot more durable. Quote
TTS Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 I could live very happily with Bronzeye 65's in Killer Gill, Nasty Shad, and The Killer. Tom Quote
Preytorien Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 I typically use the colors that look closest to the frogs I'll see in my bodies of water. That said, I also have one in Killer Gill that seems to pull fish in pretty consistently Quote
Zach P Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 I have an entire box filled with Spro, personally it's all I use. They are super durable and I have caught a ton of fish on them. Best colors are easily killer gill, midnight walker, and putty black. If you are just getting started frog fishing make sure you are using a heavier mono or for best results braided line on a medium heavy or heavy 7 foot rod with a fast gear ratio reel. Best of luck!

Super User Dwight Hottle Posted May 28, 2014 Super User Posted May 28, 2014 All black & all white. Spro popping frog is a very versatile bait. Quote
river-rat Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 Spro frogs are all I use and I fish a frog quite a bit. Colors listed have all worked for me. Rainforest Black (early/late in the day or cloudy conditions) Leopard Tropical White (clear skies) Tropical Yellow (mostly during post-spawn) Redear Green Tree Quote
Mike2841 Posted May 29, 2014 Posted May 29, 2014 I dunno why but bass around here hit the killer gill more than any other color for me. Quote
STPC Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 I used Spro for years and have changed over to Booyhah Pad Crashers. They work just as well,but are less money and are a lot more durable. I wanted to like the Pad Crashers, but the last few I have bought have been impossible to walk. I know I have the technique down b/c I can walk any other frog or top-water bait when conditions call for that. I just bought a Spro baby size popper in tree frog (I believe that's the color), hopefully it will serve me better than the Pad Crashers. Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted June 1, 2014 Super User Posted June 1, 2014 My two favorite colors are natural green and black. I have a couple of each in the normal size, the junior, and the popper. Quote
