Frogs vs. Toads

Post by FishDiver »

I am fairly new to slop fishing. How do you decide to throw a hollow body frog like the Snagproof versus a soft plastic toad like the Horny Toad? Any specific difference in conditions or do you just throw both every trip and see what the fish prefer?

For me, it usually comes down to speed. If I want to do a lot of stop and go, I like the frogs because they float. If it's a faster retrieve or more open water, the toads are good. They will sink if you let them. Experiment with them, find out what works for you. I find frogging to be hard work.

I like to throw a toad in more open water with clumps of mats. If the fish are active a toad alonside a mat or inbetween a couple of close mats can bring violent strikes. They don't miss the toad as often as they do the frog unless its in open water.
