Pick Your Frog!

[Brett's_daddy]

Okay, for those frog guys out there which is the best hollow bodied frog and why? The ones I'm looking into are the Spro Bronzeye and the Snag Proof Bobby's Perfect Frog...pros/cons of these? I know Booyah and Strike King both make some too but it seems Snag Proof and Spro get the most love but I'm open to suggestions as well.

[buzzed bait]

can't go wrong with these:

ish's phat frog

spro bronzeye

booyah pad crasher 

 

i actually like the booyah myself, they have the softest body and collapses easily on hooksets.  they're also cheaper and easier to find than the others.

The color posted.

Booyah, like they said.

 

Recommended color differs depending where you are.

Down here in Florida I have had best results with the Cricket, Aqua, and White booyah colors.

I like the the Scum Frog Trophy Series. 

Like the way it casts and how it sits with its back end down in the water.

It's also very soft which leads to better hook ups.

The downside to it being so soft is that it doesn't last that long. However, they're not as expensive as most of the other frogs on the market.

Bronzeye 100%.

[Jar11591]

Booyah Pad Crashers are where it's at for me. Very soft, collapsible body and they make a popping and Jr version.

I like the Spro Bronze eye but I've taken a like to Strike King KVD Popping Perch

Booyah Popping Pad Crasher - bull frog

Soft collapsible plastic offers good hook-ups

The flat face is good for popping, a plow-&-pause retrieve and so on. 

Good leak resistance

 

Spro Bronzeye Popping Frog - green tree

The flat face is good for popping, plowing-&-pausing, etc.

Good leak resistance

Durable

I like the Pad Crashers, too.  I bought a bunch BEFORE they became a sponsor!  I've got some of the popping versions to try this summer, when the slop comes in.

Spro popping frog and Booyah Pad Crasher.

Black with Yellow.

Booyah, Booyah, and...... Booyah! 

 

 

Full disclosure, I do have a three of the Spro, one KVD, one Terminator, two Lunkerhunt, a Live Target Field Mouse and Sunfish. 

 

I've caught more and better fish on the Booyah Pad Crashers than all of the others combined! 

 

Plus I just like saying Booyah!

Spro bronzeye gets a lot of use by me. I also like Booyah Pad crashers. I did get a River2Sea Bully Wa over the winter but haven't been able to fish it yet. I really like it out if the box, not as rigid as the spro and much beefier and more easily exposed hooks. We'll see how it is in practice. It's a larger frog but I have high hopes for it. My hookups with the spro have been a little less than desirable so I'm just trying to improve on that.

Booyah poppin pad crasher in cricket is my number 1 frog. You can walk it, pop it etc making it great in the slop or open water. Hook up ratio is great with them as well. Only issue I have is I end up destroying the plastic in the mouth "popping cup" on a really good day but @Bluebasser86 doesn't have that issue.

I like the jawbone frogs at Dick's sporting goods. At $3 they are easy to replace. They float like a champ and even the small frogs cast well. Only downside is the hook isn't the strongest but it is plenty for Colorado ponds. I'd recommend trying one before buying something more expensive. You might find the Jawbone frogs get the job done and save you some $.

How is your hook-up ratio with the Jawbone frogs? The angle of the hooks differs a bit from other frogs and I'm curious if this adversely affects the hookset.

Koppers LIVETARGET "Mini Frog" LIVETARGET Hollow Body 45T Frog adds real life features, great paint jobs and realistic look to a small one and 3/4-inch body that weighs 1/4 ounce. It also casts well and walks, glides and scoots like its big brother. The keeled belly combined with anatomical lifelike features work well, the nose points ups, and the 45T can be worked on the surface or dead-sticked. The molded front legs and 3D eyes of this bait are good features...

You don't want to follow me down this path.  Turn back while you still can!!

My over all favorites are the junior and popping pad crashers in cricket frog and dart frog, but this year the lunkerhunt pocket frogs with the legs swapped out for skirts has been my go to frog.  Only time will tell if it earns a place with my booyahs, but i love the results i'm seeing so far.  The finesse frog saved my butt at a tournament last weekend, with a decent 18th out of 84 finish.  Thanks for the heads up on that @Master Bait'r.

Booyah and spro... easiest to walk

Booyah is the softest. Spro walks a lil better. Booyah is the best bang for your buck

[Hooligan]

Bobby's Perfect and Chris Lane Guntersville frog are two of the best I've fished. I like the SPRO and Koppers, as well.  

[kickerfish1]

Spro and Kopper is about all I use.

[Preytorien]

I wish they still made the "Barts Death Dealer" frog. I watched some video of that and it looked effective, but he apparently stopped making them? I contacted him to see what their availability is.

[bowhunter63]

Bobbys perfect frog is my favorite.
