My boy DC always eatin something on rate the bait ...lol
He has worms and I’m not talking about the worms in his tackle bags.
Never fails
He gets lit bruh
DC pulling a Brad Pitt move... Get some shrimp cocktail and own it...
Ole boy needs to quit crossing them legs though 😂
I love the River2Sea frogs and hardly throw any others.
I could listen to y’all honestly talk baits for 37 hours. Lol By far the best series on TH-cam for us bass fishermen!
You guys may need to do a rate the snacks for DC😅
Adrian went full Jersey there. Love it!
You need to do flipping baits (pre-beaver). Lizards, Tubes, Brush Hogs, etc. Before every creature bait looked the same.
DC is great with story time. Rate the bait is one of my favorite shows.
Shout out to all of you for taking us to school. No wonder all of you are such successful fisherman. Keep giving up the nuggets. Love this series!
Livetarget hollow body frog 🐸 beef hooks and plastic is super soft. My go to 💯
The first frog imitation bait that I can remember is the moss boss from back in the late 70s. Look it up. It was a staple in East Texas when I was growing up....
Us Redman guys are in our 60's. Lots of great info. Thanks all of you!
Rate the bait is my favorite thing on TH-cam. I could listen to y'all for hours even with DC smackin' on them chips. 😂
Love throwing the frog. Good stuff! I learned on Ish’s Phat 🐸 (Snag Proof) around 2013-2014.
I throw a frog a lot, my favorite frog is the Live Target brand very soft but I do tweak the hook bend!!
Jackall Gavacho...best open water walking frog.
Facts
I'm loving what you guys are doing with rate the bait, but I'd love to see you guys expand this into all fishing related gear. Like rate the boat, rods, reels, fishing line, rain gear, sunglasses, electronics, etc. Thanks for the content, and keep it coming.
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. 👍🏼
Rainsuit s & gloves
Best frog color, in my opinion, is a black frog with chartreuse accents to it. Sooooo many big ones caught in Alabama. Rate the bate is one of the best ideas to do on TH-cam I've seen👍👍👍
For the frogs “stiffer” out the pack, let them sit on your dash board during the daytime on a hot day and the heat will make them softer without overdoing it.
Live target frogs are bar none my favorite frog out there. But I’ve been recently experimenting with the Jackall Kaera and it’s been sweet too!
I've found certain colors of the spro are more likely to have the perfect softness you guys were talking about. Anyone else find that too?
Same
They really vary with the softness one is perfect and the next one too firm
I’ve found the same thing
Name the colors.
@@jimmcculloch5825 ive got probably 8 of the popping frogs....translucent colors seem softer to me then the lighter color painted ones. The hard whites and bluegill color of mine are the hardest. Yellow sparkle and neon glow are my softest ones. My sunfish colored one is very soft too.
Rate the Bait is the best thing on TH-cam. You guys are the best by far.
Great video... and YES, I fished the Red Man back in the day. ;)
Absolutely love this series guys!! Keep up the great work!!
True story on flipping the snag proof and the pill vibration!
I’ve become a huge fan of the 6th sense vega frog. I feel like it’s that most versatile frog, you can pop it walk it make it jump skips well. It’s been my go to lately
I second this. I've been fishing the black frog on a muddy pan fish dominant lake and popping it over ledges and big ones have been coming out of cover to smash it.
Great video... never fished Red Man, but I fished Florida Pond Jumpers back in the day. 14 ft, 15 hp, max! No electronics,,, Little boats, fishing big Lakes. Kissimmee, Harris Chain, Winter Haven... we caught some 30 lb bags...
That single tail Adrian mentioned is the best frog imo.. expensive but on game day… he is who I got on.
I went to the craft store and bought some of the Christmas bells. I take one and put it inside of whichever frog I use that it will fit inside
The Spro bronze eye is my go to frog but I’m really liking the castaic baits walking frogs a lot lately. Good colors, good sizes, hardware is solid. 8.8/10
If you use powder it’s gotta be baby or talcum Powder. Flour clumps bad when wet. I use the desiccant packs that come in packages. I just recycle them to my frog boxes when I get them. They work great!
Love this series dude, so informational and hilarious. Makes you think differently about baits too
I was getting real upset yall weren't talking about the Stanley Ribbit til I heard "another episode." I'll be waiting for that one!
River2sea bullywa is a phenomenal frog too, other than the spro it's my tournament frog
FishLab Rattle Toad is the business. Strong hooks, you can bomb cast it, easy walking bait, and a great hook up ratio.
Gotta leave all the frogs in the package and on the dash of the truck on the way to fish. The heat makes the plastic squishy and helps me a ton.
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
I'm a big fan of the Teckel frog, everyone loves the Sprinker single tail but the Teckel Honker is up there with the SPRO.
I like the Swamp Lord frog
KEEP THESE COMING! I hope Spro replys to your comments on softness,
Love it! TOADS and how to rig them PLEASE!
Always fire...wheeler a frog wizard
Rate the bait is your signature at this point. The most fun to watch when you’re together
What J-Dub said at 16:36 got my attention too. Wheeler would never say some "shyt" like that!!!😅😅😅😅
Surprised you guys didnt talk about the koppers or ish’s phat frog. Spro are good frogs but the plastic is so thick out of the box, good hardwear though…ever since trying the padcrasher ive never been back, great walking frog. I do agree on the skipping, weight and mat fishing aspect though but mostly fishing open water sparse grass. Good stuff.
8:28 i bout cried 😂😂😂
surely there is a way to break in the harder frogs. sit in the recliner watching tv and and just keep squeezing it. Maybe boiling it quickly, I dunno Im thinking out loud.Love this series BTW
DC always chewing on something! Straight snacker!!
I’m loving this series. Good job buddy 👍🏻🐟🎣😎
Spro poppin 60. Midnight walker in color. My absolute favorite.
33:03 i know exactly what that was. 😂 Iykyk
Lol what was it?
@@iGoVroomVroomI can't give the juice out! Iykyk
6th sense Vega frog is money. So versatile. Before it, I was booyah pad crasher all day every day. Y’all tried it?
I love the spro frogs
I love the Spro and so does my buddies. They are actually reps of spros. They have caught probably 20 double digits on a spro frog. The biggest being almost 14. 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.
I agree with the Spro Bronzeye given the choices, but either they didn’t know about the R2S Phat Mat or they didn’t want anyone else to know about it… 😉
Deps Buster K is the best frog hands down, it’s a pooping frog but fishes in mats and pads great too
Culprit also had a worm called a sticky worm with that Velcro . caught my biggest bass to date on it in a mocassin color
rate the bait is great look forward to it every time
DC said a bluetooth speaker. I'm crying lol
These are my favorite videos on TH-cam
Snag-proof rat's were the Bomb! Wish they would start making them again.
I learned to throw the frog back in the 90s by talking to Alford Williams on Ross Barnett reservoir he would not tell u where but how lots of pads on Barnett back then l think it’s great the was u break down baits!!!
How about a Rate The Bait Scent. Rating Bait scents. You could even put some smelling salt in a tube and hand it to DC for the first scent rating. Thanks for the great content.
Popping perch by strike king, soft with good hooks👌
My boy DC always got the best snacks
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.
Would you guys be willing to make a video explaining how to use/what you look for on your electronics when you target fish in deeper/offshore waters? Sincerely, the average angler.
Add bonus segment called rate the snacks. DC on that bag
The frog DC was talking about is the spro flapping frog…deadly frog but it can only take one fish so it’s not worth it. You can try to glue it to help but it doesn’t work that good.
Rate the bait is a great idea. I love it
Like the series. Thanks
You guys should do drop shot baits
New Megabass big gabot frog is amazing… You guys have to try it…
Yall are right about the Spro Flappin Frog, it's junk. And they used to punch a Frog to win those snag proofs. Now there are rules stating you have to fish a Frog as intended on topwater.
Teckle frogs are the bomb
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….
I love this full of good info.
Bobbie’s perfect all day out here in ca delta. My change up frog is the River2Sea bully wa
Will the flour trick work for spinnerbaits in a box?
Jackall gavacho frog is my fav
As a weekend angler, having to replace hooks straight out of the package is a deal breaker. We’re not talking about trebles here.
Just bend the hooks up a little on the pad crasher DC. I've caught so many fish on that frog. I'd give it a 9 out of 10
I've fished almost every brand you can buy and to me. The live target frog, not the popper just the old school koppers is the best frog that's ever been. I don't have to do anything to it but install 2 jig rattles in the big 3/4 oz size, trim the skirt and go too crushing them. The second one go too is the spro. But 99% of the time it's the live target in emerald red. Can cast it a mile and its soft.
I would like to see what y’all think about the 6th sense Vega Frog and the Toad Thumper frogs! I think the Toad Thumper is one of the absolute top frogs there is!
Bobby’s!
I think that other frog y’all were talking about it being to soft was the strike king poppin perch
I actually like the strike king poppin perch in warmouth. It’s my go to. When I want to downsize I go to spro in ayu flash
Throw the spros on your dash to heat up and they soften up well
Mark daniels you really got that hood in you… your lingo I hear it
I like the googan frog..
Love these videos!!! Keep up the good work gang!
I’m 61 and been bass fishing most of my life and SnagProof and Bill Plummers Super Frog are the oldest rubber frogs I remember. There were wooden frogs made many years before those 2. I’ve never fished Red Man but I’ve chewed many pouches of it in my lifetime. When I was a broke kid my cousin said he’d buy me a pouch if I’d chew the whole bag at once. I did it and got some free chewing tobacco. I was chewing tobacco and dipping Skoal and the powder Sweet Garret in a can since I was in elementary school. It’s a tough and expensive habit to quit when your going thru 2 cans a day.
Me to man. Me too, but I’m 30, not 60. Quit everything but the skoal. I farm, feel like that makes it’s harder. A good chew just goes with hard labor, and intense thought processes. Especially fishing. Gotta have a big chew while fishing
@@stupiditypissesmeoff330 I farm too. Raise pecans and honeybees. I was backpack spraying sandburs yesterday and got within 40’ of my meanest beehive and got popped right between the eyes. My eyes are almost swollen shut. Nose is swollen also. I’m pretty sure they’ve got a lot of Africanized genetics in that hive being that I’m in Texas. That hive has tore my ass up many times. I learned that you sure don’t get the brush hog near them. They’ll chase me until I get in the house and you can’t outrun bees. Fishing and drinking beer were the 2 hardest times on me to quit dipping. I had to quit because I choke on everything I eat. Had surgery 3 times to dilate my esophagus and still choke on food everyday. I can’t even swallow a baby aspirin now. Wish I knew years ago what it would eventually do to me. My esophagus looks horrible from the pictures the doctor took. Full of white ulcers and raw bloody spots and it’s swollen shut. Don’t have insurance now so I’m screwed for more surgeries. I dipped 2 cans of Kodiak at minimum a day at the time I quit. Sometimes 2 1/2 cans. Eating Sunflower seeds and no more beer finally broke the tobacco habit after many, many failed attempts. I still thought about snuff on a daily basis for probably 3 years after I quit. It’s out of my mind now. I started back on my beer after I broke the tobacco habit.
Ahh man. Hey that tobacca spit is the best skeeter/ sting reliever known to man! My grandpa taught me that. But my grandpa on the other side also got esophagus cancer, but that one didn’t chew. He drank a lot tho. You think it’s the chew that did it, or drinking? I don’t swallow much of the stuff, try not to.
@@stupiditypissesmeoff330 I don’t drink much at all. 3 beers at the max a day. Usually none. I know for a fact it was tobacco. I didn’t swallow any spit intentionally. I’m sure you accidentally swallow a little. I had acid reflux every day because of it. That stomach acid is what ate up my esophagus. I ate tums anti acid daily. After I quit dipping my acid reflux went away but the damage was already done by then.
I’ve caught most of my fish on the River2Sea Bully Wa frog, but he’s trash on mats. On mats Bobby’s Perfect frog is definitely my go to! The Spro flappin frog is an absolute killer as well on open water.
The River2Sea Mat Daddy frog is a great frog in the mats.
Really like rate the baits!!! Thanks
Terminator Frogs hands down!
In my opinion I feel like the pad crashed jr is my favorite it just is a smaller presentation idk I jsut bend the hooks up and out also the spro I like but I have lost some giants on it
Spro is my favorite that she still readily available but my #1 frog in my arsenal is the snag proof poppin phattie (now discontinued)
Swim jigs, jerkbaits, last but not least.. the best soft plastic LIZARD.. OG
Harnessed swimbaits next!
Always great to watch the crewi just went and caught a 3 lber on frog yellow
The body design will determine the walking motion. Frogs with flatter bellies will Bobb better a frog with a bit of a keel belly will walk better.
