    Ive got a suggestion… whenever you talk about different types of grass, or lily pads, or types of cover (mainly types of grass) you could put a picture in the corner, maybe even labeled, of what you are covering. For example you said this would be great for x grass but not y grass, you could have an example pic in the corner of them both. Sometimes its hard to be learning about the lure and everything then having to pause to google grass types lol. You guys are great, just a friendly suggestion that I know would be helpful for myself and surely others.

    Don't thank us Tim, you and Matt are my fishing idols and have given so much bass savvy. You are so brave to pick up and leave California with your wifes and children, to start a new life full of unknowns. That takes more guys than most people have and it makes you so strong willed. I'm 81 but still love bassin and went today with my 83 year old friend and we destroyed them up to 5 lbs. Caught 40+ in 7 hours. Anyway, I always tell my buddies about you and Matt and how much knowledge y'all pass on. Thank you again.

  • @live2fishofficial
    @live2fishofficial 2 роки тому +14

    The toad is THE most overlooked bait out there IMO. The ability to have a surface/topwater presentation AND a subsurface option is KEY to finding those bass and giving them what they want.
    It’s amazing how switching up from one type to the other can create such a subtle change that will get you bit by some absolute tanks! Thanks for giving the toad some love and absolutely great video for anyone wondering if they should give this a try. Just do it!👊💥🎣

They have quality material and everybody that's into fishing that watches UA-cam has had to have heard of them because I have heard other fishing UA-camrs talk about them as well. By the way #TacticalBassin #Flukemaster (Gene Jensen) has talked about wanting to Collab with you guys since before you moved to Tennessee so now that you guys are only a few hours apart..... He does boat and Kayak so there's tons of available content that would be fun to watch 😁👍

  • @kurtbecker9609
    @kurtbecker9609 2 роки тому +1

    Tim: regarding deflecting grass... have been using a clear glass bead for years. when wet, they are 'real slick' and really help come through the weeds/vegetation. one other share: those zoom HTs can be really effective on top of mats too.... sometimes they just get bit better/more than the typical HB that get used. My favorite hook remains the Mustad Ultrapoint Megabite... some day , maybe we cross paths and can dive deep into the philosophies of frog fishing... 😁

    A couple of tips for future vids: when recording sounds on the water, don't do a voice over, drowns out the lure sounds. Secondly, probably remake this video because your audio goes out and don't turn your back when talking to your audience. If you are going to do that, get a mic so your soundtrack is consistent and audible. Thanks for passing on your knowledge. One of the informative and educational channels on YT!!

  • @williamgould2470
    @williamgould2470 2 роки тому +1

    2 additional tips that I use. 1st use a weighted hook that will keep the bait from turning over especially at the beginning. Unfortunately my favorite hook from Falcon lures with a slim piece of lead on it is being discontinued by tackle warehouse. When not using a screw in type hook I can put them straight through the nose of the frog at an angle to keep the nose of the frog up.. The 2nd tip would be to buy some mendit . Some of these frogs are a dollar a piece and mended will make it look like new again and can be reused many times.. I have also used a bead on the front to help it get through weeds.. The cone shaped wake from from Halo looks interesting but it is hard to get.

    i got into toads after a pike cut the body of my brand new bully wa 2 frog on the first cast making it useless. The toads were a budget option to frogs and I loved them, I've progessed from fishing with them with swim bait style hooks to toad hooks (berkley fusion toad hooks or owner toad hooks). My main frog is the yum tiptoe with fusion hook that i fish even on pads and get better hook up that original hollow body frogs.
    this is also an excellent bait for kids for its effective chuck and wind bait,
    Saw the zman toads but now i might consider them

    The old school Mister Twister Hawg Frawg was a great finesse toad also the Stanley Jigs Ribbit Top Toad is a great crossover between a hollow belly and a conventional toad. The option of stopping after a missed strike and twitching it is very productive. I only disagree with you on a couple of points one is "only in sparse grass". I use the Culprit 4” Incredi-Frog in heavy grass as it has good body weight and works well for those situations. I really like the Big Bite Baits Tour Toad the Ribbit and even the Zoom Horney Toad as all seem to hold up well in the massive lily pad fields I like to fish with excellent results. My other disagreement is I have no issue casting most any of these toads on a heavy rod. 🤷‍♂The Mister Twister is a little lighter than the average but like I said its more finesse type so not technically a heavy rod bait.
    Congrats on 500k
