Summer is topwater time! The toad lives in the shadow of the hollow body frog but these baits have earned a place in every angler's arsenal. Come along as we take some of the most popular toads and swim test them so we can compare sound and action in the water!
When it comes to toads, no two baits are alike. Some baits are subtle as they skitter across the water, others splash and make a violent commotion. Different toads work in different conditions and on different lakes so its important to understand the differences between them. We try to always keep a subtle toad and an aggressive toad in the boat throughout the topwater season so we can quickly adapt to changing conditions.
Below you'll find links to the exact baits discussed in the video, as well as some of the gear we use to fish them. We've included our favorite colors for each, the hooks we use, and even a budget-minded angler who wants a great combo without breaking the bank. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

@live2fishofficial Год назад

The toad is THE most overlooked bait out there IMO. The ability to have a surface/topwater presentation AND a subsurface option is KEY to finding those bass and giving them what they want. It’s amazing how switching up from one type to the other can create such a subtle change that will get you bit by some absolute tanks! Thanks for giving the toad some love and absolutely great video for anyone wondering if they should give this a try. Just do it!👊💥🎣

@oldeschoolbob1022 Год назад

Thanks for these "toadally" awesome tips, Tim! Congratulations to you and Matt on reaching 500k . You two do an amazing job of reaching all levels of anglers without boring or confusing anyone. Your efforts are very much appreciated; thank you!

You guys are the best bass fishing channel on any platform watching ur videos got me back into bass fishing and I hadn’t fished since I was in my 20s and I just turned 50 this month . Keep up the awesome videos I’ve learnt so much watching you giys

@richardblake4777 Год назад

Don't thank us Tim, you and Matt are my fishing idols and have given so much bass savvy. You are so brave to pick up and leave California with your wifes and children, to start a new life full of unknowns. That takes more guys than most people have and it makes you so strong willed. I'm 81 but still love bassin and went today with my 83 year old friend and we destroyed them up to 5 lbs. Caught 40+ in 7 hours. Anyway, I always tell my buddies about you and Matt and how much knowledge y'all pass on. Thank you again.

Been experimenting last two seasons with toads in creeks and rivers for smallmouth and have been killing them. I just got a box of the Goat toads and Finesse frogs from Zman last week and cant wait to try them. I caught my biggest ever smallie last year 4lb + on a frog.

@brianrobinson9979 Год назад

I honestly don't know why it took almost 15 years for them to get 500K. They have quality material and everybody that's into fishing that watches RU-vid has had to have heard of them because I have heard other fishing RU-vidrs talk about them as well. By the way #TacticalBassin #Flukemaster (Gene Jensen) has talked about wanting to Collab with you guys since before you moved to Tennessee so now that you guys are only a few hours apart..... He does boat and Kayak so there's tons of available content that would be fun to watch 😁👍

@ffmedic3349 Год назад

Ive got a suggestion… whenever you talk about different types of grass, or lily pads, or types of cover (mainly types of grass) you could put a picture in the corner, maybe even labeled, of what you are covering. For example you said this would be great for x grass but not y grass, you could have an example pic in the corner of them both. Sometimes its hard to be learning about the lure and everything then having to pause to google grass types lol. You guys are great, just a friendly suggestion that I know would be helpful for myself and surely others.

@ahastar1141 Год назад

I actually love a toad in sparse pads. Can run it through there and when the fish misses a blow-up, instead of having to throw a follow-up bait I let the toad sink, and a good percentage of the time that bass will eat

Perfect timing! I picked up a couple packs of toads, but haven't really gained any confidence in them, yet, cause I haven't caught much of anything.

@kurtbecker9609 Год назад

Tim: regarding deflecting grass... have been using a clear glass bead for years. when wet, they are 'real slick' and really help come through the weeds/vegetation. one other share: those zoom HTs can be really effective on top of mats too.... sometimes they just get bit better/more than the typical HB that get used. My favorite hook remains the Mustad Ultrapoint Megabite... some day , maybe we cross paths and can dive deep into the philosophies of frog fishing... 😁

@danham3344 Год назад

Thanks Tim, great job! I’ve been waiting to learn more about Toads. I’m wondering if water clarity ever plays into your toad choice due to more or less sound & disturbance? Congratulations on 500k! I’m super happy for you guys. TB is not only my first bass fishing channel, but the first YT subscription that I ever did years ago. Yes, you two have come a long way and it’s been fun riding along with you and your families. “We appreciate ya.” 😃👍🏼. God bless you all.

@williamgould2470 Год назад

2 additional tips that I use. 1st use a weighted hook that will keep the bait from turning over especially at the beginning. Unfortunately my favorite hook from Falcon lures with a slim piece of lead on it is being discontinued by tackle warehouse. When not using a screw in type hook I can put them straight through the nose of the frog at an angle to keep the nose of the frog up.. The 2nd tip would be to buy some mendit . Some of these frogs are a dollar a piece and mended will make it look like new again and can be reused many times.. I have also used a bead on the front to help it get through weeds.. The cone shaped wake from from Halo looks interesting but it is hard to get.

@dalestevens7734 Год назад

glad to see that you did a toad video i got into toads after a pike cut the body of my brand new bully wa 2 frog on the first cast making it useless. The toads were a budget option to frogs and I loved them, I've progessed from fishing with them with swim bait style hooks to toad hooks (berkley fusion toad hooks or owner toad hooks). My main frog is the yum tiptoe with fusion hook that i fish even on pads and get better hook up that original hollow body frogs. this is also an excellent bait for kids for its effective chuck and wind bait, Saw the zman toads but now i might consider them

@dimitriousdevilboon7714 Год назад

@funkymojo111 Год назад

A couple of tips for future vids: when recording sounds on the water, don't do a voice over, drowns out the lure sounds. Secondly, probably remake this video because your audio goes out and don't turn your back when talking to your audience. If you are going to do that, get a mic so your soundtrack is consistent and audible. Thanks for passing on your knowledge. One of the informative and educational channels on YT!!

My best buddy and me used to use so many ribbit frogs, as I got older I didn’t have much luck on lakes. I’m super confident with toads on a pond but I usually don’t use them on the boat.

@ricksonora6656 Год назад

I was hoping he’d say just a sentence or two about where to use them. It’s hard to put all the pieces together.

@JOSHWAAHHHH Год назад

I honestly fish the rage toads in 90% of frog situations and feel they they are so underrated and not used.

@johnhildenbrand2642 Год назад

Lol, of course you come out with this video while I'm waiting for delivery of some hooks for this technique, never done toads before, but I picked up a few bags of Ribbit toads and some hooks and we'll see if the smallies out here like that better than a full blown buzzbait or a frog being a bit more finesse by comparison

@gavinhensley3108 Год назад

@mikebainter8917 Год назад

@Altered76 Год назад

The old school Mister Twister Hawg Frawg was a great finesse toad also the Stanley Jigs Ribbit Top Toad is a great crossover between a hollow belly and a conventional toad. The option of stopping after a missed strike and twitching it is very productive. I only disagree with you on a couple of points one is "only in sparse grass". I use the Culprit 4” Incredi-Frog in heavy grass as it has good body weight and works well for those situations. I really like the Big Bite Baits Tour Toad the Ribbit and even the Zoom Horney Toad as all seem to hold up well in the massive lily pad fields I like to fish with excellent results. My other disagreement is I have no issue casting most any of these toads on a heavy rod. 🤷‍♂The Mister Twister is a little lighter than the average but like I said its more finesse type so not technically a heavy rod bait. Congrats on 500k

@bruuuce78 Год назад

Chasebaits Flexifrog needs to be in the arsenal as well! Casts better than the ZMan and the smaller one is absolute money - smaller than the finesse Toadz and come prerigged.
