40 views and not one answer...

It's not that hard of a question... What kind of frogs do you use? Anybody know of a better one than the Stanley Ribbit?

Zoom Horny Toad, with a 4/0 XWG.

bassdreamer, are you giving it an extra count or 2 after the strike before you set the hook?

Favorite all around frog is the Snag Proff Tounament Frog.

Favorite soft plastic frog is the Mister Twister Hawg Frog.

I will start throwing it just as soon as some of the early spawners start to move off the beds.

I have and use the Spro frog, Scumfrog (Trophy series), ribbit and horny toad.

I don't really start throwing a frog until late spring early summer.

I use the Zoom horny Toads on a 5 or 6/0 Owner screw lock. Only problem is they are good for one fish maybe 2. Solution: After the screw lok tears out cut the nose of the toad off and re shape it with scissors and it is good for another fish. Solution #2: Use a 3 0r 4/0 offset hook wiyh a paracite clip. The clip pulls on the offset part of the hook instead of your hook eye increasing your hook ups and less damage to the toad.

I'll start throwing a frog about april. no better plastic frog than the ribbit. I like a 3/0 EWG. Use the bead that comes in the package, it helps the frog come through the thick stuff better. 50# braid on a 7 ft heavy rod. Give them just a second or two after the blow up and then rip their lips. If the fish misses and you have the discipline to not yank the frog away, but can let it sit, 25% of the time they'll come back and get it.

I use mainly the Horny toad, with 4/0 and 5/0 frog hooks. And this year I will continue to throw the Horny toad, but will also start throwing the Strike King Rage tail. Those things have unreal action.

I use a 3/0 or 4/0 wide gap hook... and reel it in with the rod up at almost 12 o'clock... when they hit it, i go down to about 90 degrees wait till i feel the tug then let em have it. Can't hardly miss one that way.
