What color frog do you like to fish in the slop?  :)

Hmm...

Most frogs are green. Maybe that would be a good color to try.  ::)

Horny toads, i have best luck with black/blue legs,green pumkin, and green pumkin/craw swirl....

Have seen days that fish will hit black/red spro frog before they will a natural green....under docks...  :-?

I think the retrieve is more important....plus the color of its belly. Cause that is what the fish see. So match frog color to water clarity, forage, etc...., but go one shade brighter or darker thinking about light conditions.

After saying all this, I only see frogs at night, so whatever it is the fish think is running across the slop, he prollie doesnt think its a frog... bird,lizard,baitfish,big bug,.....just something to ponder.

I have been told that white is a good color that is why I did ask to get everyone's input.

White or tan on the bottom, and olive green on top, with black spots...  It works best!  Looks most natural to a fish..

the bottom of a frog is white, and the bass see the bottom, so i assume a white bottom would be a good choice

Zoom Horny Toads, I haven't used a color that Bass didn't like.

I throw a Lunker City Salad Spoon, very similar in theory to a buzzing frog, and their version of pumpkin is a very murky muddy looking green, and does very well. I think any dark color will do pretty well. I worry more about color when there is less slop. The more slop there is, I think only shape and sound/vibration really matter.

I've had the best luck with Zoom Horny Toads (Junebug & Black) and a green and black Stanley Ribbit.

i like the spro bronzeye jr. in rain forest yellow

I use white for bright conditions and black for low light unless the water is clear in which case I go natural.

I would have to say my best producer is chartruese, but I'll use a variety of colors white,black,brown something natural. Most of the time :)

for me it has everything to do with the light and water conditions.  for hollow frogs i use the bronzeye that is green and yellow on bright days, white or the maroon-reddish one if there is a little stain and cloud cover, and black if the water is heavily stained or there is heavy cloud cover.  ive even used a black frog at night with some success.

soft plastics frogs are similar and i use green pumpkin or green pumpkin with a white belly when i can get away with it and black or darker colors when the water/light condition offer less visibility.
