I need to stock up on a few more hollow body frogs. I typically get the booyah pad crashers and they work fine. But I was looking at some frogs with the paddletail legs, I’ve never used any. Do they still work well in cover or are they mostly for more open water like a buzz bait? Any recommendations on the best ones to try? 

   I use the Pad Crasher and the Stanley Ribbit. I use the Ribbit both on top of weeds and like a buzzbait on open water, but the Pad Crasher only on weeds. They seem to work about the same where I fish.

  

   As in all things, YMMV.           jj

Ive got a Scum Frog Bigfoot which is a hollow body frog with kicker legs. Ive dragged it right along the edges of weed lines and for no takers. Tied in a trusty Pad Crasher and got a bite. If you want a frog that makes alot of commotion Booyah makes the Toad Runner with a big boot tail that really moves some water around. 

The Lunkerhunt pocket frog looks good and will catch fish, but short strikes rip the legs off and then they don't run right.  

Here’s a good thread. Made some of my own. Caught a few. 

 

So are you looking for the ones with the double paddle "feet", similar to a toad, or the ones with the "buzzing", tails like a soft whopper plopper tail?
