Product Review Zoom Horny Toad/Report

After Dave left I loaded the boat and head over to the small lake to = try out the zoom horny toad. The small lake has lots of lilly pads, so I = figure good place for the frog, I was immediately hit and went to set = the hook only to have the frog fly back at me. Dam, sent it out all = over, just working the edges of the pads. I wnd up catching 2 good fish = and missing 5 more!!! What the hell, I check the hook it's fine sharp as = a razor, so I pop the frog off and toss a speed worm on, 4 fish in a row = around the pads, not a missed fish in the group. Back to the frog and a = massive hit by the beaver dam, I set the hook and the fish rips line = from my reel, only to come un-buttoned. I was using a 4/0ewg gammy, but = these frogs are thick. I might have to switch to a 5/0 and see if it = makes a difference for me. Too many missed fish for my liking, but the = horny toad will stay in my box for the time being. They are simply = awesome looking in the water and much like the speedworm can be fished = in a variety of ways. I posted some pictures on a.b.p.f.

****** I have been told by more than one person including one local pro that = when you start fishing frogs you have to figure you are going to see a = lot of explosions without getting a hookup. I haven't thrown a frog in = a long time, but that was my experience as well. =20

Maybe one in three would hook up. Often when the smashed frog landed = floating in an open water pocket it would get hit again. =20
