SHIMANOFAN Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 I've recently started throwing frogs,probably 8 or 9 months. I have been using and liking the Snag Proof casting frog but I've noticed that after a few casts it fills with water and starts sinking. Does anyone know how to prevent this or a similar frog that does'nt have this issue or did I maybe just get a bum frog? For info's sake I really like this frog as it very strongly resembles the approx. size and color of most of the real frogs we have here and the bass almost can't leave it alone. Quote

Bassboss Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 You can some times prevent them from sinking if you put a dot of super glue on the hole in the bottom. Quote
MSPbass Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 I'm a fan of Reaction Innovations' Swamp Donkey. I like the detailed bellies and it's very easy to walk once you hit open water. Most of the other frogs have skirt legs rather than the rubber legs on the SP casting frog though. So, man, if they're hitting that Snag Proof as good as you say, don't trash it too quickly. Squeezing out the water every once in a while might be annoying, but a small price to pay for consistent hits. Quote
FR0G Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 I would have to say Snag Proof - Bobby's Perfect Frog. I also like the Reaction Innovations Swamp Donkey, but I have had a problem with the weights falling out. So, I just decided to stay with the Perfect Frog. Quote
Super User CWB Posted November 21, 2008 Super User Posted November 21, 2008 I'm also hooked on Bobby's Perfect Frog. Been using Boze Sumo alot lately though. Quote
SHIMANOFAN Posted November 22, 2008 Author Posted November 22, 2008 Just never used a frog with a spinnerbait skirt for legs. Maybe I'll try to glue it and see if that works. Quote
Super User Sam Posted November 22, 2008 Super User Posted November 22, 2008 Spro. Cut one leg in half to give it a different look. Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted November 22, 2008 Super User Posted November 22, 2008 Snag Proof Bobby's Perfect Frog. Don't try to keep the water out. Just give it a squeeze after a couple of casts. You want the body to collapse easily when a bass takes it to get the most consistant hook-ups. Quote
Simp Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 My personal fav is the Spro Rojas frog. I've tried many and will continue to experiment with other frogs, but the normal Spro frog has proven itself to me. I put allot of time into perfecting my retrieve with that frog and it paid off with tons of big bass. Just go to the trips and outings section and do a search for "How many licks to the center of a spro frog?". Quote
memo43 Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 have you tried the Rage Tail toad. I like the way it creates a comation as you rerive it, Just like a buzz bait. except without the hangups on weeds/grass. memo Quote
Bassboss Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 I got a cool idea, when, and if, you glue the hole, try gluing some spinner bait skirt on that too, give a jack asz kinda look. ;D Quote
BassFishingMachine Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 Bobby Perfect Frog is a nice frog, but my all time favorite for best hook up ratio's would be the original scumfrog. All in all, there both great frogs. I would stay away from spro frogs, as I have had a few take in water on me, a few too hard to get a good hookset, and all of them I've bought I couldn't get a good hook-up ratio with. Quote
mike bat Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 i have to tell you guys ... the spro frog IMO just cant be beat .. im talking the regular size spro not the jr ... i have seen people fish the jr and i have heard they take water on ... but i have yet to have a regular size spro take water on ,, unless i caught a ton of fish on it and it was wonded in battle ...

bladeslinger Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 I really like how the spro frog can skip under cover, but Bobby's Perfect Frog really seems to get more hookups with me. Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted November 26, 2008 Super User Posted November 26, 2008 Sumo frog is great. I also really like the River2Sea BullyWa. Quote
T-Bone Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 Snag Proof Bobby's Perfect Frog. I've had it for only 2 weeks and about 20 fish and counting. ;D Quote
