Which floating frog?

[South FLA]

Do you guys modify the soft, hollow-bodied frogs in any way?

On all my Spro's I cut the legs back so they are about as long as the body.  I also cut down the strands so they don't stick, I roughly cut half of them back to the insertion point, its important to get them cut back so the stubs don't grab weed.  I also like painting the hook eye flat black so as not to have a silvery shine.  If you really want to walk the dog with them, go ahead and leave on of the legs about 1/4 inch longer, the extra drag will make walking the dog easier.  Certain color of Spro's have a bit stiffer plastic.  I'm not sure if it works but I spray silicon over the top portion of the body and work it like a leather glove., not sure if it makes a difference, but it inspires confidence.  Lastly, I've experimented a bit by adding a think layer of silicon sealant around the hook exit points, to prevent water logging, but I found that it doesn't help much and when it does get some water in it, sealant makes it tougher to get the water out.

Another good frog that is bit lighter and floats in a more horizontal position is the Swamp Donkey.  I like the Swamp Donkey cause it moves through the thick stuff a bit easier. River to Sea also makes a nice frog.

I like using the spro ones, I haven't had much luck with the soft plastic types as they snag on the weeds frequently for me. They seem to love getting stuck in that "indent" part of the pads that I have in my area. The spro kinda floats over them.

I dont have much pads but you can turn these arround the brush and they dont hang up much - I got a box made of Just spro frogs and their new colors look Great.

They also work great to scare your wife with ... Set em on top the fridge and ask her to get u a beer.
