Renosky Sizmic frog?

I know a few of you are diehard Zoom Horny Toad users and was wondering
if anyone has used the Renosky Sizmic frog?

The Renosky frog looks almost exactly like the Horny Toad but has "shad
feet"(feet like a swiming shad's tail) instead of "curly tail" feet
like the Horny Toad.

I have read that some of you have had trouble finding Horny Toads and
the Sizmic frog has recently become available at 3 different Wally
Worlds in my area. I would guess that most Wal Marts have started
carrying them also.

I have recently picked up both styles and can't wait till spring to try
them out, but untill the ice melts I am looking for everyone else's
opinion.

So... has anyone used them? Do they compare to the Horny Toads? At less
than $2.00 for three frogs and a couple of screw in type hooks thrown
in, the deal seems pretty sweet.

And yes Rodney, I know, ANY lure that is made by Renosky is far
superior to any other lure on the market;-) Hehe! Just kidding.

Thanks,
Mike

I've used both and have had better luck with the Toad. The frogs do
catch fish, but I was unable to find them locally. I felt that the
toads moved more water and definitely skip better than the frog did.
Seems those paddle feet put more drag on the water when skipping, less
when retreiving. YMMV.............

I'm glad you are,, Joe makes some fine lures, but there are many that
equal some of them, and others that surpass them. Joe does spend a lot
of time and Money on R&D, he was the first in many lure designs that
others knocked off, some of the knock offs were even better than his
originals, but he was the "first" to come up with the principles, and
fishermen should give him credit for things like screen painting of soft
plastics, as well of many of the designs that you can buy from most
manufacturers now.

Rodney, it just hit me that Mr. Renosky's first name must be Joe. Sorry...
us SW guys only recognize one true Joe, with all the rest being imposters!

You're feeling better, right Bob? LOL, but I do agree, in the fishing
world, there is only ONE Joe!

Am I feeling better right now, at this moment? Well, I got more steroids in
me than Canseco, business at SW is going crazy, and my nurse is young & drop
dead gorgeous. Life is great! Of course, ten minutes from now I may be
taking a nap and dreaming of running through even more gorgeous fields of
greasy hamburgers instead.
