Best hollow bodied frog?

Featured Replies

I have fished Spro before. I really like the KVD Sexy Frog. What do you guys prefer? Maybe something different than these two?

My favorite is the Spro Popper. I've had now 4 Spro originals and 3 of them have sunk either out of the package or after first use, so not going back to them. I do really like the Booyah Pad Crashers - they walk well, collapse easily and straight up catch fish. I'm excited for their Toad Runner to come out.

River 2 sea, my favorite frog and I have em all.

I am a Booyah Pad Crasher guy. Caught my PB during a tournament last year on a white pad crasher. It weighed 7.8lbs. The Pad Crasher is the most affordable frog, along with its durability and all the right colors, I will continue to use these over the other frog brands.

Booyah Pad Crasher.  I like the softness of the body.   I've had the most success hook up wise with these.

Booyah Popping Pad Crasher are my go to.

I like weight to my frog so I can flick it a good distance with a roll of the wrists. returned a pad crusher b/c it was too light for my liking.  I don't like to fight the wind with lures either.  For that reason I like River2Sea Bully Wa 2.  next order I'm getting 3/4 oz Ish Monroe Phat Matt Daddy.  I thumb break my frogs for a soft landing so why not go heavier and make life easy.

Another vote for Booyah Pad Crasher, they're cheap and a good product.

I like to throw a furbit on a breezy day - 20+ over 7# - lost count of the over 5's - if the wind is blowing throw a furbit - even after moving back north I find it is still very effective - it has worked on deep clear lakes for me at times.

Fragile buggers though - I end up tie wrapping and gluing them together and replacing the rabbit strip tails as they get eaten off - if the wind isn't blowing many other frogs will get bit but if it is windy I'll always have "furby" tied on.

I love the Snag Proof Moss Mouse.  I really don't think the bass think it's a mouse OR a frog but, instead, a dying fish (shad) but it matters not.  It's durable, doesn't fill up with water quickly, has excellent hook ratios and doesn't break the bank.  I never hear people talk about them which is a shame.

I’ve had really good success with both the live target frog and sunfish. Seems like when they’re a little lockjawed the smaller sunfish will get a few more bites than the larger frog.

I like Pad Crashers, the smaller Live Target frogs, and the weirdo Bassyriski.

Booyah pad crasher junior and the popping pad crasher, cricket frog, dart frog, and the one with the yellow belly covers it for me.

Is the pad crashed so popular because of the price point? I just feel like there are other frogs that look/feel better. Haven’t thrown a pad crashed yet. Love the hookup ratio on a sexy frog and how well it walks but I’m open to trying.

The Pad Crasher is pretty similar to the Spro frog in weight, shape, and walking action.  The plastic is a little softer, though.

I have both Spro and Booyah frogs. I prefer the Booyah and it has nothing to do with price. Throwing them in the same pond over a period of 5 days this past summer, I had a much higher hook up ratio with the Booyahs. Was it variables I can’t account for? Possibly. But I have confidence in the Booyah frogs now and the Spros just sit in my box. Maybe I got a ‘bad’ batch, but the Spros seem to be much stiffer in the body than the Booyah frogs. Which could account for the lower number of hook ups I got fishing them. I do wish that I could get pure white Booyah frogs though. I’d like to try painting/coloring some myself so they’re completely unique. 

I'm a Scum frog gal, really love the Bigfoot model! Makes tons of noise with those big flat fluke feet!

The softer body was the reason I liked the KVD frogs better. Had a better hookup ratio and I feel that this played a part. It sounds like I need to invest in a couple pad crashers
