Bobby's Perfect. Otherwise I move on to ScumFrog -softer, and bigger hooks.

I'm no frog expert though.

i'll be trying ish's phat frog this year

I like Bobby's Perfect Frog by SnagProof in the "Wild Bull Frog" color pattern.

I better like that color; I designed it for them, No BS.

I already have some of the Ish's Phat Frog, but have not thrown them yet, as we have ice for water right now.

My second choice would be the Black one.

I am a certifable Frog-aholic, and have been fishing them since 1969.

Here's a cool pattern for targetting Bass with a frog; something I learned from Cal-delta frog-aholics on my trips fishing out there.

Take a "Sparrow" [yes, it is a color pattern they sell] , and then toss it up under bridges that hang over the water where Sparrows will build nests hanging over the water.

Plop it next to the bridge upright in those areas where they enter the water to simulate baby sparrows that have fallen out of nests.

When doing this, be sure to not move your bait any distance, but instead, just make the frog sit in one place, making it quiver by just wiggling your rod tip some. keep in mind, newborn baby Sparrows are not swimmers, but instead will just panic in the water before they drown, flailing around, and that's why you just want them to wiggle around in one place.

That's thinking OUTSIDE of Box of the typical 'frog' usage, huh ?

Don't just think of a frog as only a 'frog' , but also as other small creatures found along edges of waters all around us that bass feed upon, like baby ducklings, Blackbirds, Mice, Moles, Rats, Etc...

You'd be drop-jawed if you saw my 'frogging/Ratting' boxes, because I have made some cool, custom-made  'creatures' that I madeto resemeble some of the creatures mentioned above, like a frog that has a slight off-white belly, that I removed the strand 'legs' and instead glued two small yellow boot-tail legs in thier place, to look like duckling legs hanging down at rest, and kicking the same way when moving.

Or "rats/mice" that I cut the factory tails off , and put a thin [floating] worm in it's place, like 4" straight-tailed Roboworms or even the Slender Senkos so that the tail moves more and looks far more realistic, in my opinion.

Doctoring baits like this gives some of my baits a very unique look that they have not been conditioned to, and more importantly to me, gives me confidence that my bait looks more realistic than the way it came from the factory  in replicating a certain forage specie.

Okay, call me nuts..{LOL} ;)

I always slather frogs/rats with MegaStrike, for two reasons.

It 'lubricates' the lure, so it slides around easier over cover, such as Lily pads, etc, and secondly, so that when "Mrs Bighead" comes up and engulfs the lure, the fish will get that "Mmmmm" good taste and hold onto it longer, giving me a longer window of time to set that hook.

If nothing else, all these little modifcations that I do gives me great CONFIDENCE that I WILL CATCH FISH when using them under certain circumstances[like the bridge tactic, or the duckling hatch tactic], and that , in my mind at least, is as or MORE important than the chosen lure.

I was going to mention the Snagproof mouse as a good ice bait, bc my then 3year old son loved to cast it out on the ice and watch it slidin' and skippin' back in. It was safe for him to throw year round, and he did LOL.

Hey, I assume you fished Bill Plumber's original Bass Frog? I loved those. And have hated every "re-model" after.

I take it you all like the perfect frog over the tounament frog?

I take it you all like the perfect frog over the tounament frog?

Yes sir.  Mainly because the perfect frog walks so much better.

Me too, I will get the black and White colors! And maybe the Buck Nasty.

The Bobby's Perfect and the Pro Tounrment Frogs sport different hooks.

The Pro-Tournement Frogs have a 6/0 Owner hook.

Bobby's Perfect Frogs have the double-EWG Gamakatsu hook design, as do the new Ish's Phat Frog.{as well as the Spro Frog, as Spro is the "parent" company of Gamakatu}.

If you look at the rear of both frogs, the newer of the two , the Bobby Perfect design has eliminated that 'corn-kernel shape where the strands come out of the torso which is seen on the older ProTournment Frogs.

I feel, together, these two changes make for better hookup ratios of the two frogs, in my expeiences with them both. I have fished them both A LOT, I assure you.

I hope this helps you..

i like the all black one, but if i were u, id move onto either the Scum Frog, or better yet, if u can afford the jump, move up to the Spro BronzeEye, I LOVE the popper version! i just think they ride better, and i like the hooks more! toss a b.b. or two in the belly and have fun!

The new Phat frog is pretty sweet, doesn't take on water , and it walks super easy. I have a TON of Perfect frogs and they will probably always be my favorite, but the Phat frog definitely has its place.

The Phat frog looks bigger that Bobby's frog or is it just fatter?
