Jay Ell Gee's post in Frog Fishing Help was marked as the answerThe zoom horny roads are probably the most subtle of the topwater toad lures. I would also recommend grabbing some Stanley ribbits if you can find them. They will make a bit more noise.
I have personally never used the weighted hooks, but I like the concept. Further casting and it helps keep the frog upright. That being said, after fishing toads for 6 years, I have never felt that I needed them. However, I really like the zoom horny toad hooks with the screw lock on the nose. That really increases the durability of your frogs.
My father still fishes with his ribbits using 14 lb Stren and a 6'8 M/F shimano compre rod. I prefer 30-40 lb braid (50-65 for hollow bodies) and a good MH rod myself. My point is that you don't need to start with dedicated frog equipment. Ill never convince dad to use a 7'0 MH rod and he regularly limits with ribbits.
Let us know how you do with them!
