I picked up 2 packs at Dicks 1- in foxy shad and 1 in black lab. They do seem on the heavy side. I worked it in my pond to test it out and felt ok with it.

A frog can cause more disturbance in vegetation than the $ hound! Probably better hook ups as well!

Yeah, because frogs have much better hookup ratios than a single EWG hook! :

If you know how to use it it can be about the same! The body of the Hound is very bulky and i just don't see the hook ups being that great. I think they are made to catch fisherman and it is apparently working!

Heddon made a VERY similar bait back in the early 90s.  It sucked.

I doubt it. Anything with a single hook to drive through a fish's mouth is almost certainly more likely to hook a fish than a hollow bodied frog.

I'll be testing them soon, you know, actually TRYING the bait. I'll let you know how it works.

That thing was a total turd. ;D One of the very few baits that I picked up casted about 3 times then tossed out. This is better than that at least.

I had better luck retrieving tip down, by far. I used a 5/0 EWG hook with it. Also, I rigged backwards a couple of casts and did better with tip up. The bait itself gives a very wide movement when worked probably 3-4 inches, does great as far as being weedless. I used it last night for about a half an hour and caught 1 ok bass on it. I think it has its uses, but won't be a goto bait for me anytime soon. Also, something I noticed was when reeled in quickly, it can be walked under the water.

You're word is worth buying at least one pack.  Thanks

Manns made a similar bait called the GHOST.Heard these are pretty good(If you can still find em)
