      They’ll get there eventually but respectfully you can catch fish with any boat, rod, reel, line and so on but it all comes down to what you’re fishing and how you’re fishing it or what’s best, they’re simply giving their best advice and thoughts on their favorite baits they use and what will catch fish the most. 👍🏼

    Wheeler may find it interesting that Snag Proof was manufactured just down the road from his old stopping grounds in Blue Ash, Ohio. (North suburb of Cinty). Cool small mfg company, nice folks to talk too. They had most all their designs hanging on a wall on display. Still have a handful from the 80's in the tackle box. New owners have the Scum Frog brand too. Great video gents, thanks for sharing your experiences and tips. All the best

Now my favorite frog its the SCUM LAUNCH FROG! Then the Popping perch, Matt Allen bully was and Booyah padcrasher. My largest fish came on the bully WA weighing on around 10 lbs.

  • @vincentgelles3805
    @vincentgelles3805 Рік тому

    I fish a lot of shallow ponds that are choked out with grass and sometimes a frog is the only thing I can throw effectively. When I can get away with it, I prefer throwing toads because the hookup ratio is far better than a hollow belly frog. If you haven’t tried the toads that float when you pause them you’re missing out. I like the Zman but my favorite by far is the Savage Gear duratech toad. I’ve caught more 5 and 6 pound largemouth on it than any other lure.

I do agree on the skipping, weight and mat fishing aspect though but mostly fishing open water sparse grass. Good stuff.

  • @phigamko
    @phigamko Рік тому

    Another issue with the Spro frogs is that the plastic will sometimes stick up way above the hooks and the hookup ratio is terrible. They’re inconsistent as mentioned. With that said, the popping Spro gets bites probably better than anything for me walking in open water. I just wish they were more consistent to have a better hookup ratio. Booyahs get bites as well but the hooks will bend out pretty easily.
    Still looking for that perfect frog….
