which frog design do you like better?

[snapper G]

Do find paddle tail frogs (such as the Stanly rabbit)  seam to more effective and make more noise or frogs like the rage toad to be more noisy?

Fish em and let the fish decide.

Different waters,different conditions,different types of cover.

Some lakes they will kill certain ones,others not so much.

When it's calm and quiet out the best toad I have thrown is the Sizmic.It barely makes a sound and thats what the fish want sometimes.

I haven't caught too may fish on the solid rubber frogs, mostly because I use other baits, specifically hollow frogs.

I've done a lot of hollow body frog fishing this year, and hadn't given much thought to why I had just a few Snag Proofs in my bag in years past.  Here is what I came up with:

Snag Proof: all around good deal, good at weed/padless, good hookup ratio, durable

Scum Frog: softest body out there, and best hook up ratio, tears up easily, inexpensive

Spro: sublime action, tunable: cut one "leg" shorter than the other and you can walk the dog, body is too thick, you really have to wait to set the hook, lower hookup ratio, best colors, last forever, pricey

Furbit: flat out unbelievable when nothing else works, pricey

Basyrisky: they don't work, forget the name... :-X, actually, they are a different bait altogether, I like the smaller size

Scumfrog Bigfoot: another weirdo hybrid, club/paddle feet are great for going through open water, then pads all in one cast.  I think this is the bait that replaces all the paddle tail plastic frogs for me.

I have fished them all down here in the swamps and I tell you the most productive all around frog is the Rage Tail in the chartruese belly. Each frog has its time and place but the Rage Tail will produce more often than not.

My favorite frog is a 4" soft plastic  by The Wright Bait Company.  It's the top producing frog I've used this year.

This is a very soft, hand-poured frog with garlic in the mix.  It actually smells strongly of garlic.  

The frog doesn't have much action when buzzed, but it has phenominal action when jerked.  The little legs just kick straight back.  It is the only frog I've ever used that actually looks like a real frog in the water.  It sinks, slowly and horizontally.  

Swimming it over grass, and letting it sink some into pockets is a killer technique.   I'm taking it out this week to work it over lilypads.  

I've been using it with a 2/0 Owner Twist Lock, but I think I'll go to a 3/0 and see how that does.

I kill em on stanley ribbits, although there not "too" noisy. Have never fished the ragetail toad, but by the looks of the design it looks like it would produce more noise. As for how many fish it would produce I cannot say, but I can tell you the ribbit has caught me many bass, and is my go-to soft plastic frog.

paddle tail for sure

Caught my PB best just last nite on a hand poured frog poured from Bobs  Buzz Frog Mold..

watermelon w/ Red..

But the Stanley Ribbit is awsome too !!!!!

I was using a 3/0 EWG hook.. but now I prefer the  frog type hook

with the extra pc that pushes into the front of soft plastic baits.!!!

they seem to make the frogs last longer .

For hollow bodies I like the Bobby's Perfect, Scumfrog Trophy and Scumfrog Bigfoot. Solids, I have had good luck with Ghost Baits handpours and floating Ribbits. Z-Man makes a good solid out of elaztech which is indestructible.

[iceintheveins]

My favorite frogs are spro, scumfrog popper and bigfoot frog, and the original snag proof frog.

Do the stanley ribbit frogs float?

They do have a floating model yes!!

[rondef]

The Rage Tail toads have been extremely productive for me.  I have caught bass in the grass mats and in the pads using them.

Snapper Gs posts are the best.
