Product Review Zoom Horny Toad/Report

Went to the big lake with Dave, we fished for about three hours, me using his hair on a jig and him using the best there was to offer from wal-mart for crappies, His hair won yet again, landing some real nice crappies and a really big perch.

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.
