Rage tail toads or sizmic toads
I want to get some of those toad baits for thick weedbeds. I was wondering if I should get the strike king rage toads or the sizzmic ( unsure of spelling ) toads.
I know that therage toads cost more so which is a better value? |

I absolutely love the rage toads! I seem to have them tear fairly quickly but their action is unbeatable for topwater!

Rage tail out of the two you mentioned. Also, give the Horny Toad a shot.

Some other factors I have considered are the lure's resistance to rolling over and the overall thickness of the bait. As far as the latter, I have avoided some brands because they are thicker than I care to use, meaning I probably wouldn't land as many strikes without using bigger hooks and/or stronger line. Another factor is that the Sizmic, although it tends to roll, is softer plastic than some other brands and may offer a better catch-to-strike ratio because of that softness. This type of bait is a wonderful addition to an arsenal when you want to fish topwater and the vegetation won't allow use of treble hooks.

Okay. I think I'll get the horny toads instead. They sound good.

Rage toads for sure! Best frog I've ever used just like a buzzbait!

I was fishin' the green slime algae the other night, and a hawg crushed my lure, I set the hook when I felt him on there and missed. When I looked at my Horny Toad, he'd been amputated from the knees down. I quickly rigged up another, and nailed 'em, about a 3 LBer. The point of my story is that those Owner twist locks really hold your lure in place. No sliding down the shank of an EWG hook.

I bought some of the Gammy double frog hooks the other day. But I haven't got a chance to try them out yet. Anyone use them yet? I have done better on the Zoom horny toads myself.

I use the rage tails. They are awesome, move tons of water. Only problem is they get torn up so fast. So recently I got a scum frog bigfoot. It isn't a soft plastic like the rage tail but it also kicks up a good amount of water and it a little more durable. I would check them out.
