BooyahMan Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 Got a hold of the new Storm SX Soft Bull Frog today. As a frogger, I am extremely excited about these new hollow-bodies. The body is pretty soft, reminds me of a Live Target. I can’t wait to try these out once the weather warms up! I’ll post a review after I’ve spent some time with them. Quote

First reason: brand new hollow body for me to try! Haha, I'm a sucker for new frogs. Second and probably more importantly, these frogs feel really nice in my opinion. If I were to describe it it's almost as soft as a Booyah Pad Crasher but at the same time it feels durable like a Live Target, and there is good amount of room for the body to compress which is something I've had concerns about with other brands. I haven't had a chance to try them on the water so I could totally end up hating it, but this is the first frog in a while that I've picked up and just said to myself, "this one is going to get the job done". EDIT: I do wish they made a smaller version though. Quote
primetime Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 It looks like the Terminator frog..But that would make sense since storm and Terminator are all under the same brand..Storm makes a frog called the Banshu Frog that is supposed to be really good as well and is a hollow body but has swimming legs and is popular in Japan apparently, but I was not aware they were also making a Frog that seems to be similar or exact to the Terminator Frog...Not an issue, I picked up some Terminator frogs since I like the big size, colors, and just like to buy frogs if I am honest...I do wonder about all the extra frog behind the hooks...I like the hooks to be right on the ass end...But I am looking forward to throwing it, it is the second biggest frog I have and bigger than the Live Target 65T which is big....Spro King Daddy is my biggest Frog, I am glad I saw the Mann's Pancake Frog in person that comes with baby hooks that are not even close to the body..Not to get off topic, but that could be the worst desinged frog I have ever seen, the Super Frog was good, but that Mann's Giant Frog looks ridiculous and I passed on them at $3.99 and I love me some Frogs...But that looked like a joke to see if anyone would buy it after the fancy commercial..I wonder if anyone likes that frog? I guess it could work,but I don't see how.... Thats a cool Frog...Rapala, Storm, Terminator, Blue Fox, Suffix, Lindy...All good stuff to name a few...They test their lures so I like the weight etc...For the price the colors are really nice and the hooks being VMC are nice and sharp, and at 6/0 they keep them tight which is rare....Good luck with it...I am curious to see if it is smaller than the Terminator frog... 1 Quote

primetime Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 I need to look up the price of the Storm Frog...It may be a different material...The Terminator frog is known for the shape of the weight on the bottom, it is a long 3 sided weight instead of round...It is also harder than a Live Target or Booyah, but firm similar to say an Ish Phat Frog, or Pefect Frog...The Terminator frog is big, compresses nicely, does not take on water, and it walks really well....I am looking forward to using it, I picked up the same color as you did since I like Yellow on top so I can see it, and then I grabbed that White Ghost color they had...I do wonder about the hook up ratio, but odds are it will be fine, I remember I liked how it landed and was very easy to fish... I need to look up the storm frog...I am surprised I have not seen it yet, I want to see what size it is etc... This is the only Storm Frog I was aware of... https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRodZSZfL2USDgux6RGyKBPPnEJ9M1oyI4ym3TosfF-kTUJ3-Qvtw Rapala is smart using Storm as another brand to get their new frog marketed under...Storm and Terminator both have good reps but have not been known for Frogs....Storm has had some good lures lately, at least the Rockin Shad has been good... 1 Quote
