Using SW soft baits in a FW application

Featured Replies

A buddy of mine had some packages of softbaits in his garage and i was looking threw them. He then urged me to take a few. I ended up getting out of the heap one of those Manns's hard nose SW toads. Man if i didint read i would already be out looking for bass. They do really look like a FW softbait and i think they will do just fine. Really what kind of toad lives in SW?

I was thinking of setting it up with like a 2/0-3/0 wide gap hook and texas rigging it? and maybe use it for jigging? I mean how would you present this?

I'm dying to catch a nice bass so i can have a picture of the bait he gave me hanging out of its mouth. :(

I guess no one can figure out what question you are asking.

If the lure is a frog, you would generally use that on top of

weeds or pads, not for jigging.

Saltwater baits work just fine in Freshwater and vice versa. A lot of it is just marketing. But in general, SW soft baits tend to be a little more firm and the colors are generally different but it doesn't mean that those colores wont work for freshwater fish. As far as your SW toads go, well actually buzzing frogs in general, don't really imitate a frog, they just imitate something buzzing across the surface that looks edible. When was the last time you saw a frog cruizing across the water like that? Just fish the baits and don't worry about the labels. :(
