Toad Baits

[5/0]

Just watched Glenn’s video on toad baits. He mentioned that there should be grass or vegetation. Could you fish these and have success on banks with no vegetation as an alternative to other top water baits?

[Catt]

Absolutely!  ?

You can... And they do work.. but you should opt for a walking bait like a spook in those conditions IMO. 

 

Or a popper. 

 

The frog is for the vegetation because it's weedless

Thank you! I agree about poppers, I was thinking of an alternative to it, something different from what the boater could be using.

ive had success running my toad parallel to vegetation lines.  but yeah ive use toad baits in open waters quite often.

Toads in open water work great. Like a more subtle buzzbait. 

[Grim_Reaver]

Absolutely. Strike King Rage Toad is excellent in open water.

I have found that throwing my frog onto the actual bank and twitching it into the water gets bites. Seems to me it is as natural of a presentation as you can get with it. 

 

You dont need vegetation to fish a frog. You just need a frog and a willing fish.

It would be effective anywhere bass are active and will eat a topwater

Thanks all! I’m gonna give it a shot! I don’t have the Rage Toad, but I do have a few Zoom Horny Toads. Gonna rig the on a 4/0 belly weight hook with a screw lock.
