That's what I thought, I believe it makes the Super Flukes last longer and because it doesn't hook into the Fluke with a hook you have less of a chance of the bait being tossed off because the CPS keeps it hooked on well.

I wouldn’t see why it wouldn’t work just like a T-Rigged worm. I did the nose hooked CPS with Zoom Super Fluke but had to add a small piece of shrink tubing over the hook to keep the CPS from flying off the hook. Has worked great.

Love my Sieberts. Only custom fishing thing I think I ever ordered. Found a spot once where I threw 6 times to the same hole and caught 4 nice bass over 1-1/2lbs. each. He helped me pick the colors for my area and he wasn’t wrong.

Same. Never had one break and caught a lot of bigger bass and northerns on them.

Did catch a fair amount of fish on the Booyah Clacker buzzbait.

If that's the case I'll use my Homemade Teckel Sprinker Frog or as I call it, the Weedless Whopper Plopper.

I've gotten some fantastic blowups that resulted in no fish and I think this is what you're talking about. If this happens next time I think I will switch to my homemade Teckel Frog and see if I can catch them.

Cavitrons are the best buzzbaits imho. We've caught a ton of fish on them. And I've used a lot of different brands. It seems most will last years but every once and awhile one gets destroyed rather easily. Since we've gone to Whopper Ploppeds though we don't use buzzbaits anymore.

Try keeping your rod tip up, that might help. But I haven't had to do that. On days that we've had chop and I thought, well, too windy, no topwater fish today, and I've tried it, stil caught them. So awesome.

I actually like the Whopper Plopper because it works great in chop and wavy waters when other topwaters don't make enough of a commotion. I've caught most of my fish on either the landing or straight retrieve. I have caught some on stop and go but that's less. I'd find the speed the fish want that day and then you'll know, whether it's fast or slow. Here we do it a little bit slower than some but definitely a pretty quick retrieve back.

For topwater the Whopper Plopper, for frogs a Homemade Teckel Sprinker Frog, for plastics, Senko 5" and Zoom Super Fluke nose-hooked with an Owner CPS Twistlock.

What do you mean by running? Running engine or test?

Its a minuscule amount, almost same exact weight which is why I think they should cast the same.

I did though, and that's when I found out that the Booyah Pad Crasher casts less.....which it really shouldn't. So, I'm going to have to do some more testing. lol.

The homemade Teckel frogs have nearly a 100% hook up ratio with only 2-3 misses that I recall. The actual real Teckel frog is like a .01% hook up ratio with only 1 fish caught on many hits. So, the homemade frogs are definitely the best. The homemade Teckel frog using the Spro 65 can cast super far, and when fish hit it, even at it's maximum distance far away from the boat the fish are almost always boated. Haven't had a bite on the homemade version using the Booyah and the Booyah seems to cast about 2/3's the distance. Avid...nice!

Well, I'm definitely a rookie. I'm no pro. I get bit plenty, it's hooking them that's the problem. I have no problem throwing my homemade Teckel frogs super far and catching fish on the landing. Seems when they bite that they hook themselves even if it's a maximum distance cast.

Had horrible luck with the original Teckel Sprinker Frog. Like 20 bites and only 1 fish caught which a northern. Had some spectacular blow ups though. Note: I did bend the hooks of mine up, didn't appear to change anything. However, on my Spro 65 Homemade Teckel Sprinker Frog had an almost 100% catch ratio on hits and only lost a few. My homemade frog has a real Teckel Sprinker Frog tail, so maybe the tail is not the problem.

I'm using these frogs to make Homemade Teckel Sprinker frogs, so they are basically a straight back retrieve. They've both proven to work well as homemade sprinker frogs, so distance is more important.

Would these cut thru big hooks like treble hooks on musky lures?

O. lol. Well, there could be other variables, wind and what not. I was just wondering what other people's experiences are. If I had my Spro I would have thrown it the same fishing trip to compare but I gave it to a friend so that he could catch some fish. lol

What's the answer?

What size? The 90s can be harder to plane, 110 and 130 are better.

Can't work all the time. Were you using different colors and sizes? The Whopper Plopper is way more versatile than a buzzbait. It can be cast way farther, can be used at a far wider range of cadences, can be stopped and go'd, and has 2 treble hooks versus 1 hook.

Yes. And I'm talking about throwing when both have no water in them.

The Spro frog is 2.5" long and weighs 5/8oz. The Booyah Pad Crasher is also 2.5" long but weighs only 1/2oz. It is not a massive weight difference but could it make a difference in casting distance? The reason I'm asking is that I need to find the best frog for my Homemade Teckel Sprinker Frogs. My homemade frogs use a real Teckel Sprinker Frog replacement tail and I attach it with a size 4 three-way swivel. I used the Spro to great success, many bites and I think only 2 that I didn't boat. However, the frog did need to be squeezed of water quite a few times. It did cast a country mile though. I tried a Homemade Teckel Sprinker Frog today but I used a Booyah Pad Crasher instead of a Spro. What was nice about the Booyah was that I didn't have to squeeze it if water once and it worked well at all speeds with the real Teckel Sprinker Frog tail just like the Spro did. However, it didn't seem to cast nearly as far. Note: this is with both frogs having no water in them and using the same rod and reel. Could the minute difference in weight between the Spro and Booyah cause the Booyah to not cast as far or was it just my casting today?
