I have a couple of frogs (don’t remember the mfg). I used both on Friday and both sank after the third cast. I squeezed the water out and it was the same. 
 

I’m not a big frog guy but I have a spot with reeds that a frog is perfect for. What’s a good frog that doesn’t sink?

They all can sink.  At least the soft plastic ones.  I've had several from all different brands that as they age, they start taking on water more quickly.  Brand new, they're great.  But over time, they just deteriorate.  On most, you'll have to get into the habit of squeezing out the water after every few casts.  It's just the nature of the beast.  And eventually, they'll get bad enough that they have to be tossed.  I've tried repairing them with silicone adhesive before, and that doesn't really work.  

One thing you can do sometimes is take some epoxy and fill the hole where the water is coming out. (usually where the hooks are leaving the frog on the under belly IME)

 

Then you drill a very tiny hole in the top of the frog so that it will collapse when a bass eats it.

 

You might get a little bit more use out of the frog that you spent your hard-earned money on. I have done this a few times now and the frog's last a LOT longer.

 

Beyond that, I'm a big fan of the Strike King Poppin Pad Perch, but I like to bend the hooks out a little bit.

 

That product seems to be pretty good about resisting filling up with water but after a few fish every frog will fill up and sometimes you just got to do some quick tackle surgery to get more use out of it.

They all do it eventually.  I have been liking the ones from Jackall. They have a small one that seems to hook up better than most and a big popper, called the Gavacho. I also like anything from Teckel.

Spro

I really like the Booyah Pad Crasher. It used to be the more budget friendly option. They've went up in price but are still cheaper than some others, otherwise Spro's are really good too. 

Thanks for the replies. I could see if numerous bass had tore them up, but that ain’t the case lol.

Yep. And even if they’re not as budget friendly anymore, they’re still on of the best weedless frogs IMO, and definitely the softest and most collapsible that I’ve tried.

That's very true, I just wish they were still cheaper. With the amount of toothy critters we have up here, it doesn't take long to mangle them. Super glue can help prolong their life to a point, but it can only do so much haha. 

About the only frog that I know of that does not get water in it is the scum frog launch frog...no affiliation. That thing is amazingly water tight, I have no idea how they do it, but I never have to squeeze it.  Can cast the thing all day without touching it. Shaking my head. 

There is a guy on the CA delta that puts a weight up front and sinks them.  He swims them along the bottom. Apparently he does very well.  I think it’s the same guy that hawks the Bobby;s perfect frog.  I could be wrong.  I was eavesdropping:D.

I'm curious which one you have that is sinking that fast?
