This has become my number #1 bait in the last two years. I have caught more bass than I can count on it. One evening last spring at LOZ I caught 47 in about two hours on one single bait. I have used this on an excellent buzzbait bite as follow up bait and to work same stretch of water again and pick up more fish on second pass. Cant say enough how much I love these things. Sometimes just throwing out and letting it sit then twitching like hollow body frog first gets them but then just straight reeling that gurgle kills. Hell I could talk about this bait forever. Thanks but I hope no one around here watches this video. JK LOL

Its a pretty awesome bait, and I’m glad to hear you’ve had great success with it!

[@janosczovek8524]

Does the toad still float with the weighted ewg hook thanks? 👍😊

[@sapper3082]

I rig it with nothing, slap pads, and run between pads, bass go nuts presapwn in North Florida chasing these guys (Rodman, Orange, Santa-Fe). When they short strike, I follow up with a wacky rig white trick worm on spinning gear, right where they missed. Nailed some monsters this way!

[@SonarFishing]

A follow up bait is important!

[@edwardwicht5271]

What about putting 1/16 or 1/8 oz nail weights in the lower half of the bait on both sides of the hook slot? Would that work? That bait looks great. In open water applications, the 1/8 oz TUSH might be good.

[@SonarFishing]

It’s worth a good test run for sure! Let me know how that works.

Been using Spro Iris the frog for pike but might pick up a pack of goat toadz to downsize and get more perch to commit. A little wight to keel the bait is really usefull, if Im out of wightet hooks I just take a regular hook and pinch on a splitshot or two too it. :)

[@SonarFishing]

I like it!

[@AirMcNair23]

Caught my PB on the Toad last year!

[@SonarFishing]

That’s awesome man! Congrats! I bet it was a pretty cool bite.

[@johnnyweaver1300]

Hope you sliegh it Okeechobee! 👍

[@SonarFishing]

Thank you!

[@adamkeerl5335]

Does it still float with the chin locks ewg hooks on it???

[@davidhidalgo5662]

It was designed to float an 0/5 EWG hook and it does it extremely well. Very high floating

[@SonarFishing]

No, it wont with a weighted hook like the ChinlockZ, but honestly I’m rarely letting it sit any length of time for it to sink anyways. It will float with a 5/0 unweighted hook though.
