I hope you enjoy the Big Gabots and catch a bunch on them. The Jungle Bone and Kaeru Shad colors are pretty sentimental to me....  Who sells them locally? Fun N Sun Anglers Pro Tackle Depot Oak Ridge Marina Lake Fork Marina

I've tried several brands and keep finding my way back to Spro. Some walk easier, some look better, some are tougher, but the Spro just works.

I use Spro mostly, just checked tacklewarehouse on the Big Gabots and a few reviews said they don't hold up well. May have to pass on those

What about frogs that don't fill with water where you have to squeeze them out every couple of casts? That's my biggest pet peeve.

I've done well on the Booyah Pad Crasher & Popping Pad Crasher but I will order a couple of the new Gabots because I trust what Mark says.
Also try the Stanley Ribbit Frog if the grass/pads you are fishing is scattered. Fish it just like a buzzbait with the Double-Take hook on straight 65 braid. About 50% of the time they will eat it better than a hollow body frog. I always start off with it because you can cover a lot of water quickly with it.

They also make the Ribbit in a hollow body with the same kicker legs, but it floats. I use both styles of the Ribbit.
