Hollwbody Frogs

[bassarmy7]

Hey guys ive been trying the lunkerfrog by lunker hunt the last couple times out. I noticed tho this joker likes to flip over on the retrieve. Has anyone else used these? If these are garbage whats another good brand to get

[the reel ess]

I have two of those, the medium and the pocket size. I haven't used the pocket size, but the medium fills with water too easily. It got bites and the action was awesome till it started filling up. I complained on their official YouTube video and they told me to take some Superglue to the nose around the line tie and that plastic button that seals the belly cavity, but NOT the hole for the hooks. I did so, but haven't tried it again.

 

I much prefer the Booyah Pad Crasher when they're hitting it. Better hookup ratio. The hooks are just in the right place out of the box and the body is super soft. I caught what was my PB bass for years on a Snag Proof Original frog. They make some really good frogs too.

 

I hear SPROs are good. I have one of their older frogs and don't really like it. The body is hard. Maybe they're better now.

 

I also like a Chug Bug and a Chug'n Spook, Jr. in frog pattern. To me, they get more bites unless the water is just a mat of weeds or there's a big pollen slick on it.

River2Sea Bully Wa II

River2Sea makes the best frogs.

I'm a big Spro fan, if I could only fish one brand this would easily be my choice. Having said that I agree that R2S also makes a very good frog, I want to try the new Bully Wa II.

I kinda wanna try the booyha frogs. Do they tend to stay the right way on the nasty mats? That *** would wind up on its back somehow.

[BassinLou]

There are several pretty good brands out there. My personal favorite are Koppers Livetarget FGH 55 and 65 T's 

[Catch and Grease]

I like the SPRO frogs, the popping one is awesome.

[ww2farmer]

River2Sea makes the best frogs.

Which, of course is your opinion, but not mine or probably many others here. I like booyahs and Strike King's. Are they the best.... I don't know, nor do I care. They work and fit my needs. I avoid blanket statements, they are generally made buy fools or kids.

I like live target in 55 size, booyah and spro for popping frog.

[Bluebasser86]

Booyah or Spro. The H2O frogs aren't bad either.

[lecisnith]

I've caught my share on Strike Kings and Spros, both popping and walking.  I have one of the ***s and I like the action when it's twitched but when I try to walk it, which I prefer, it's not worth the money.  I have read that the hook-up ratio is nearly perfect on the ***, though not ever having a single strike on it I can't attest to that.

It tends to land right because it's weighted on the bottom. But I believe the others with the rubber skirt legs do the same.

Booyah, Live Target, and my personal fave that seems to get no love here.....Scumfrog Trophy series.  Not tried SPRO or R2S.

 

Of the 3, booyah is the cheapest and are BY FAR the most durable.  I catch a LOT of fish on the Scumfrogs but they do get misaligned a lot and and have to be adjusted or the action goes to crap pretty quickly.

 

The Booyah will roll occasionally when dragging it through lily pads but it rights itself well in water and never had an issue with it.

[Team9nine]

Several of these already mentioned, but Live Target, Spro Bronzeye Shad and Booyah Pad Crasher are three of the better ones. Seen good reviews on the Ish Poppin Phattie Frog though I haven't tried one. Same with the Nories NF60. I also like the R2S Bully Wa (originals), though I've read the newer "Version II" ones are junk.

I tried a strike king KVD frog for the first time this year and had a lot of trouble with it. I think I hooked up only once. About half the time on the retrieve, I would find the rattle had gotten stuck back by the hooks preventing it from collapsing all the way. I tried bending the hooks up and out a bit and ended up breaking one of the hooks. Enough of that, I say.

I say an $8 frog should not need gluing or tuning to get it to work well. I like the realistic looking legs and it did get bites. But not for long before it was waterlogged. You can squeeze it out but you only get a few twitches before it's full again. And water doesn't flush out of that hollow body like air will upon getting bit. Also the hook points are up against the body.

 

The Booyah was $6 and caught a 3 lb bass on the 3rd cast. I did trim the legs unevenly to get it to walk better. I'm still learning that technique but getting better. The Booyah hooks are in the right place right out of the box. I see no need to spend more.

Bingo.

[trupp30]

Booyah pad crasher works well. Very soft, and increases hook up ratio.

[AdamsEye]

I got a couple LH frogs to try this year. I think they are good frogs, just way to weak. One Pickerel and the frog sinks, where my cheaper pad crashers keep floating. I was thinking of pulling out the leg and putting them into my pad crashers to get the real look, and durability all in one package.

 

I am not a fan of repairing a frog after every fish, I would rather just throw a horny toad.

[bassarmy7]

Bingo.

Yep i completely agree

Obviously it's my opinion, why else would I have written it?  And "generally" only fools or kids spells buy when they should spell by. 

[Cgrinder]

Can't argue with the price of Pad Crashers. They might actually be too soft; I find that other brands throw water better and walk better. They still catch fish and Dick's occasionally has 'em for $4 each.

 

I have high hopes for the new Terminator frog. Most of the hollow-body frogs that I've tried have some glaring weakness (durability, action, softness, price efficiency, etc). 

[MasonV]

I haven't used the Lunker Frog but I don't like the look of it. I like the Strike King KVD frog and I'm about to try the H2O frog. Looks great, cheap and I love their crankbaits so I'm hoping for the same from the frog.

[robster80]

i like the snag proof ish phat frog. just picked up a poppin one to try. also like those h20 frogs alot. great colors and r cheap
