npl_texas Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Tackle Warehouse has everything except bluegill and watermelon in stock. I've been waiting to try them out. I picked up white and lemon/lime. Quote
Super User tcbass Posted October 9, 2017 Super User Posted October 9, 2017 Funny, I just got an email from Tackle Supply Depot that they got some in. I will say I've had far more success with my homemade Sprinker Frog than the real ones. Both get a lot of bites but the homemade one has about a 90% hookup rate which is impressive for a frog. I've only caught 1 on the Teckel and it was a northern. Lost a ton. I like Spro the best so far. Im trying a Booyah Pad Crasher next because I have my Spro to a friend. Quote

Brett's_daddy Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Hmmm, I think that is the 65, the 45 is the small size and the King Daddy is the BIG 1oz. size. Quote

YoTone Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 ive used one for a few weeks. its not bad but $14 is kinda steep for a frog in my opinion. mine got hammered big time by a snakehead and now it takes in too much water. i dont think ill be buying another one. i find a top toad or a scum big foot will do the job just the same.

npl_texas Posted October 15, 2017 Author Posted October 15, 2017 I have to say I'm not super impressed thus far. First couple of casts and it started filling with water. It was taking forever to plane and for the tail to start spinning. It was veering off to the left and right. I've got a couple more coming so I'll see if there is some improvement with those... Quote
