Big Gabot MB Frog is worth paying more. Anyone else agree?

Featured Replies

I rarely purchase megabass lures since most have never performed as well as they should for the price. I understand they make top quality products and after using the popper (with cool skeleton paint for $25, Darkstar sleepers etc.)...I will die on my hill that a Rebel Pop'r or Rapala etc. Is plenty good.

 

However, I picked up the Gabot Frog on sale a month ago & had to have it since it looks unique & premium like MB lures do. After 4 trips,  It seems to catch fish better than any other Frog I have used & bigger fish as well. It's big, but casts a mile, walks amazing with that mouth & for some reason....I have gotten my best strikes letting this frog soak for a minute or 2. For some reason it will get demolished after sitting still for long periods unlike other frogs. Not sure why but my first day using it my 2 best fish hit while adjusting my reel with frog sitting still in open water. I now use long pauses and it has worked more than other frogs I have done same with. It walks so tight, spits and sounds unique, casts a mile & no legs must create curiosity as Bass have seen lots of lures by Oct. 

 

If you love fishing Frogs, I highly recommend. It's big but it will hook smaller fish just fine. I apologize for the long post but this Frog is one of the first new baits in years that has made me a true believer & excited to throw. (like when trying a roboworm, senko, power worm the first time). 

 

The sixth sense vega frog is the closest I have seen & priced well. Its more narrow and legs seem to mess up hook up ratio (theory, still great frog and you miss fish on all frogs). Its a solid frog to throw. 

 

If placing an order, buy this frog for $15-$20 and you will not regret it. I love my pad crushers, pro's, Jackall, Live Target, Perfect frogs. But.....This is killer compared to other JDM $20 frogs or $12 Spro's. 

 

Anyone not like this frog or have similar experience? Maybe I need some 110's now....

Definitely can catch them.  It's pretty darned big and not many (if any?) frogs are that size.  So it's definitely a "let's give them a different look" bait.  Quality is top notch with them.

I have one and need to get more.  I like it and it catches bass.  Recently bought the Copper Red Tsunami, and it's much bigger but haven't used it much yet.  I have a lot of confidence in the Big Gabot.

Ill have to try the copper red Tsunami. Never heard of it. Need to keep up with latest frogs....Its possible I have the regular Gabot cause its not "Huge" or maybe on sale because was a bit smaller. Its not a king Daddy width wise.

 

Awesome frog. I guess the Spro popping Frog is likely the go to for most guys for walking in lighter cover. 

 

Live Target frogs...standard & popping are still terrific. Nobody mentions them anymore yet the lt45mm casts far for a tiny frog,  all soft, 55mm middle is perfect size & popper has plastic mouth awesome colors. 

 

Booyah tough to cast as far imo. 

Pike love them unfortunately.

 

I throw a Gavacho more often.

The big Spro popper, the king daddy, the tsunami and the Zoom large size hollow frog all move some serious water and get bit for sure.

 

The Tsunami is excellent - all of the Copper Red Baits frogs are worth having in your box - they’re top notch.

I throw the Fog Factory Boom Boom and Poppin frogs.
Great action.

Not around here.  Hollow body frogs attract more bullfrogs than bass.
