If you had to choose a new set of lures for the summer would you get some new crankbaits or hollow body frogs? Please keep it between these two types of lures for simplicity's sake .

I would have to go with frogs in my case. I fish a lot from shore in skinny water.

Sane here... the vegetation is EPIC!

Because of where I fish, frogs.......all I used two days ago.

 

Frogs

Cranks would be way down the list

Summer....frog without a question. 

It would be crankbaits. I gave up a on time ago on frog fishing. I have never caught a fish on a frog.

I always DO stock up on frogs at the start of the start of the season.  I'll usually burn through 10 or so in the course of a season.  Being without is NOT an option.  Going out tomorrow and I doubt I will throw anything but a frog and some senkos.  No reason to throw anything else

 

Frog but I’d modify them to be a homemade Teckel Sprinker Frog. 

 

I cant remember the last time I used a crankbait. 

 

 

 

From today, 3.24lbs. 

 

 

Probably crankbaits.  Around here frogs are hit or miss.

Hmm over 200 frogs in boxes - 50 + crankbaits - frogs win

I don't like fishing crankbaits, soooo...

Crankbaits, there's good frogging water on my lake too I just haven't fished a frog enough to have confidence in one. 

Okay, wow...looked like it was going to be a landslide win for frogs but suddenly crankbaits started making a comeback. Okay, here's the situation...I bought a half dozen or so of the Booyah Flex 2 1.5 cranks late last Fall and didn't even get a chance to fish them before our season ended. I also have about a half dozen Rat-L-Trap lipless cranks and for a different presentation when everyone else is throwing noisy cranks I recently got about a half dozen silent Lucky Craft 1.5's. As for frogs, I currently have 4 of the Live Target 65 size and 3 of the new Booyah Toadrunners. The only reason there's even a debate is because I really like the looks of the 6th Sense Movement 80x crankbaits (and their Quake 70 lipless) but if it weren't for those I'd have already placed my TW order for some River2Sea Bully Wa 2's and Spro King Daddy's.

Frogs?

Cranks for me. I don't lose many frogs and the ones I do are to the heat or small nicks that make them take on water. I lose cranks regular fishing in brush

I find most of my summer fishing to be done during mid day, which means frogs are a no-go then usually. 

I usually keep 2-3 frogs in the boat and 20-30 cranks. 

It totally depends on the water though. If the whole lake is shallow they'll be more likely to smash a frog. If it's deep (60ft+) like most lakes I fish, I'm pretty confident fish will be holding on deep ledges and cover. Frogs are useless there.
