I tried a lot of frogs a few years ago and liked the Booyah Pad Crashers the best. Durable, don't take on water, really catch bass. I fish the junior size (1/4 oz.) more than the full size. It catches quantity and quality. Biggest has been 8 1/2. pounds. Bullfrog and Leopard frog colors.
In memory of my childhood friend Dan Sterling, who taught me at an early age how to catch bream with a hand-line, and who unknowingly hooked me on fishing for life.

I have tried them all including $15 ones from Japan and honestly, my favorite is the Academy H20 frog in Bluegill color. Not very durable but cheap and seem to catch the most fish.

Spro or Booyah for me. They both create a similar presentation and I've already boated a lot of nice fish with them this year.
I have some of the River 2 Sea popping frogs that do well too, but they have their place.
I finally broke down and bought a SK Popping Perch in white/silver, but just tied it on last night so I can't comment on it yet. Let us know if the Popping Perch does anything better than the frog. I have watched several videos on the popping perch and have heard all about how it was designed and all the pros input into making it but have yet to hear how it is better for catching fish than the frog. I haven't even seen anyone catch a fish on it yet after watching 4 different videos. Popping perch is the real deal. It's caught NUMEROUS fish this year for me when I couldn't get but on a frog. That bait walks and bloops amazingly. They do tear up easy and start taking on water.
I can backlash toilet paper.

Really doesn't matter which one as long it's white on the bottom.

I like Booyah and Spro, but my 'go to' in a hollow-belly is either a River2Sea Bully wa or a Spittin' Wa. Top Toads are next in line. For plastic, it's a Bull Ribbit.

I fish 4 frogs consistently. Ish's Phat frog, Spro Poppin frog, Horny toad and the new Spro Spitter.
Conditions tell me which to throw or what combination to throw. I really like the new Spro Spitter. It walks like a reg frog but gurgles like a poppin frog. I can actually work it faster because it has a lil less drag than a true poppin frog.
I only throw white or black colored frogs. Hope it helps.

I ended up buying some Spro popping frogs and caught a couple in bad weather. They did not hold water and I had great hookups.

Top toad or poppin toad (if water is choppy).
Cast further, better hook up ratio, and you can cover more water.
You will get more blow ups on a spri style, but you can cover more water and increase your odds.
