I have two frog molds this and the croaker. I like them both. This one is best for on top the slop, weeds or lily pads. Sometimes I'll stick a 1/4 oz bullet weight in front of it so when I get to the edge of the weeds I can swim it just under the surface. The croaker is more for open water or when the weeds are not all the way to the top. It's almost like fishing a buz bait. It doesn't fish the heavy stuff well because the feet get hung up in it. But those feet bring it a lot of attention. A frog bite is one of those bites you can really catch a big fish on. You may not always catch many but when you do it can be a good one.
