kwaldeier Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Just curious of everyone's preference when it came to this good hollow body frog. Do you guys prefer the regular,the jr, or the poppin frog? Which color do you find works? I have the original in bull frog color and have caught plenty of base via pond. Lakes on the other hand are a different story sadly. What say you? Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted August 10, 2015 Global Moderator Posted August 10, 2015 Popping Pad Crasher or original Pad Crasher in Cricket Frog or Dart Frog for me. Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted August 10, 2015 Super User Posted August 10, 2015 I don't care for the popping one, but I use the regular and Jr. size a lot (as well as the SK sexy frog). I use a couple colors of the Booyahs, cricket frog, bull frog, shad frog, and dart frog. As for the SK, I use stump jumper, spring frog, tiger black, and green pumpkin/orange throat. Quote
Super User WIGuide Posted August 10, 2015 Super User Posted August 10, 2015 I use the regular the majority of the time. I will throw the Poppin' Pad Crasher if the wind picks up a little since it makes a bit more noise. The nice part about the popping versions is it still walks easily, but you can make it pop when you want it to. I've got every color they make, and they all work. Pick one that you have confidence in and keep on chuckin' them! Quote
Super User gardnerjigman Posted August 10, 2015 Super User Posted August 10, 2015 Popping Pad Crasher or original Pad Crasher in Cricket Frog or Dart Frog for me. X2. Cricket works great. Quote
FinCulture Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 What I like about the Jr. is that a fish can take it much more easily. Anyone who frog fishes a lot knows that this bait may carry the lowest hook-up ratio of any bait in their box. A smaller frog will find its way into a bass's mouth much more easily and allow for a better chance at a good hook set. The Jr. also does provide some solid action, even for a smaller frog. Quote
lectricbassman Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Regular or jr. I have caught more fish on 1 single pad crasher this year than any other bait combined! Quote
jtharris3 Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 I don't care for the poppin' frog. I do like the Pad Crasher and the Jr. I throw the Pad Crasher the most. I also throw the the KVD frog as well as some of the Snag Proof frogs. The Pad Crasher is by far my favorite. I have it in the cricket, dart, swamp and shad. Quote
RB 77 Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 I dig this frog. I like all three styles for different applications. I like the Jr. for ponds, the regular for most applications and the popper for more open water applications. I have a variety of colors that work well, although you'll see me with the black or green most often. I don’t sleep on yellow though for that high visibility. Quote
Super User the reel ess Posted August 12, 2015 Super User Posted August 12, 2015 I have all three. I tied the regular Boohay Pad Crasher in cricket frog pattern on after being dissatisfied with the Lunker_Lure Lunker_Frog. I haven't taken it off. I probably need to put the junior on a MH spinning rod to see which gets more action. It's bullfrog pattern. The thing about the regular size is it seems to discourage smaller fish from biting. I must say my average fish on it is better than average. Quote
NotnatsSamoht Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 I use the jr size in cricket frog and shad frog, thinking of trying dart frog next Quote
FrogFreak Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 I like the poppin version if I feel I need more commotion but most of the time it's straight pad crasher. Black and leopard frog for me. Quote
BooyahMan Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 I am a HUGE fan of Booyah Pad Crashers. My two biggest bass came on the Jr. size, although right now I am currently throwing the regular size as the pads are quite thick and I'm looking for a bit more casting distance to cover more water. In saying that, I've still caught some real dinks down to 10" on the regular size! I've had limited success with the poppin' pad crasher but haven't had much of a chance to use it. Will probably dust it off in the fall when the pads get a little more sparse. Quote
