Question About Spro Frogs Vs Live Target Frog

[airborneduckhunter]

I grew up on the white scum frog with red and white skirt. Loved them but am using SPROs now

I tried the same thing but cut the tail off a swimbait but the action wasn't great or what I hoped for. Going to try it with the Sprinker tail

 

 

I had had luck with the Gambler Big EZ tail but better luck with an actual Teckel Sprinker Tail.

I frog fish a lot where I'm at.  Tonight I just tried my first SPRO bronzeye and am ready to throw it in the trash.  I generally use live target hollow body frogs and they work well for me.  I've tried Matzou, Bass Pro house brand and a couple others and have never had a frog as tough to work over laid down reeds as this SPRO.  The eye catches everything when trying to pull it over.  At times it felt like there was a darn treble hook on the nose it hung up so bad.  Also, when it lands it slaps down like a kid doing a cannon ball from the high dive.  

 

I've always heard such great things about this frog and am scratching my head on how poorly it just performed.  Had 7-8 blowups and zero hookups.  From personal experience on my other frogs I guarantee I would have gotten at least a few of those in the boat.
