Looking for your experience with BIG frogs compared to normal and compact frogs.  Talking about the SPRO Big Daddy and the Copper Red Tsunami, which is what I have.  When the frog bite is on I alternate between the three (big, normal, and small) to try and determine if there is one better than another, like we all do with all baits.  I don't have hard data, only my experience, but the big frogs are performing poorly compared to the other 2. 

None of the big fish I've caught on a frog have come on one of the big ones (which is what I thought they would do).

What is your experience?

It’s like a big swim bait or a big jig - you’re really headhunting when you tie on the bigger frog but my experience is smaller fish can and will hit it plenty - I like the big frog exactly when a bigger bait makes sense - super heavy cover, dirty water, deeper water, darker conditions, heavy wind, bigger fish, super active fish etc

 

90% of the time I fish a standard size frog - I reach for small ones on small ponds with clear water and calm conditions and smaller fish, big one during the aforementioned extremes and the regular size is my go to because it is a great compromise on bite getting and drawing power that tends to work the best and be easy to present effectively without special gear etc.

 

in the end - big baits are more psychological than other categories - you have to dig deep into your confidence and remember the body of that frog is not much bigger than a small bream or perch or a larger mouse or bird or frog that has their attention.

 

I just try to think of it mechanically rather than fish preference - lot less guessing.

 

There’s times when one offering makes mechanical sense over another and I try to adjust to the conditions UNLESS fish are showing a STRONG preference for one size or profile over another and then I’ll throw that til they’re sick of it!

@Pat Brown  Thank you, great advice!

I find my ratio is almost as good with a bigger frog (70mm size like new Spro pop frog) as long as I make sure they have it, skirts cut short, and I set hook steady but not crazy hard like I used to. I purposely purchased a "Frogging" rod since I used to struggle landing fish. 

 

As for King Daddy....I feel that's maybe so big at 90mm you have to hook less. Kind of like the big LT mouse....Gets crushed but smaller size hooks more. 

 

Bass can find a smaller frog just fine imo. Launch Frog plenty big and spro 65mm, LT 65.
