- In part 7 of our behind-the-scenes GOAT ToadZ series, we reveal more tweaks in our prototype bait molds before going out on the water with Z-Man pros. Miles “Sonar” Burghoff offers his initial impressions as well as a few cool rigging tips. Meanwhile, Brian “B-Lat” Latimer hits up a local pond and breaks the bait down to its finest details. Take watch and a listen to the bait’s action and sound, and once again, let us know what you think of the GOAT ToadZ’ metamorphosis.
I love the elastic toads. It is my go-to bait in the ponds that I fish. My favorite top water bait. I’ve also stopped using my different style worms since I started using your toads.
I'm excited been following the process and it was really cool of zman to allow us to see the steps and leapz this toad has made. I'm patiently waiting on it's release 🤗
Leapz, lol!
Man looking forward to it. Catch a lot of bass on the hard leg frogs.
I’d love to test these out in central Florida! Especially at the Kayak Anglers of Florida championship I’ll be fishing on the St Johns next month. 🤗
Need this now, during the hot season! :)
I’ll have to try these out. I’m hooked on Ned Rigs! 🎣🤙🏽
Recently got a couple packs of the hard leg frogz and love them. Can't wait to try these!
So with this all being said, does Zman have an idea of when they will release the GOAT ToadZ for the public to purchase? Thank you.
Still no set release date. We've got to do a little more testing/tweaking before we get the production mold made and can start cranking these things out.
@@ZManFishingProducts please this done ASAP guys this is a Florida boys dream
@@jimmybrown2731 Try the Zman hard leg frogz. I love these things.
Cant wait to try these out.
With the improvements you've made over the Hard Legged Frogz, any interest in doing something similar with the Pop Shadz?
I really like the "hull" and rounded mid-section you added to this bait and feel like the Pop Shadz would benefit from something similar. It would add more bulk, bouyancy, and help with keeping the bait on the surface during aggressive jerks. It would also help to "backload" the weight and keep the Shadz floating face up, tail down for more disturbance and maybe more side-to-side dog style action.
If you need any help proto-typing a new Shadz, let me know 😉
Great feedback! The Pop ShadZ has been around for almost a decade, so it may be time to revisit that guy!
Looks awesome
Thanks Brandon
Love this frog.. I've been catching some beautiful snakeheads.. if it could be a bit more thicker and a bit more buoyant I'll leave all other soft lures and switch to goat alone ❤️💪
I've been extremely curious on why you put worts on the top of the frog, just cause the fish are looking at it from the bottom
Haha, honestly great question. Why do any semi-realistic frogs have the detail on the top of the bait?
Helps them to be a lil more weedless🤷♂️
Just picked up a few packs. Can you recommend the best hook?
Awesome 🎣
When is it coming out
Still no set release date. We've got to do a little more testing/tweaking before we get the production mold made and can start cranking these things out.
Can’t wait but I hope it’s before the summer ends lol
I'm sold
I'm just wait from them to drop here in North Florida.
Can't wait I just got into throwing toads so can't wait
Since it’s still in testing phase… please consider a version with bigger feet ie having the two feet the size of turbo fattyz tail for more sound /vibration. Considering a frog like this is often used in heavy cover it would be nice to have a louder “plopper” sound than what’s currently on the market. Maybe a “turbo” ToadZ version in the future ; )
Looks almost like the legs are a bit close to each other. It would be nice to have the legs a bit more separated.
They were definitely too close together on the first prototype mold. We added more space in between the legs (on this revised design) and they're kicking much better now, even at slow speeds!
need a slot on top.
Looks pretty good, have always been a fan of the zoom horny toad bait... I'll have to give these a shot soon! 🤙🦀🌴
Zeman elastic stuff is so hard to put on a hook
Hopefully it is released pre rigged in package. A 5 hook would be perfect...
These won't be pre-rigged because we want folks to have the option to rig them on an EWG or double frog hook or buzzbait or ChatterBait, etc... But yes, a 5/0 EWG is going to be the deal we feel!
I’m from las cruces New Mexico 3665balboa ct I been fishing zman lures for 3 years lost 37 lures bottom fishing Ned rig and no fish I went to the lake seen a lot walliey fish two feet from the top put zman lures right in front of them and no bites even the toads lures no fish sorry I’m going back to live baite
When does it come out
This should come out around the Bassmaster Classic next year.
