You sugest the horny toad,im going to take it you fish alot of grass,i 've been doing fairly well with the ribbits,you tried them yet?The ribbits give off an excellent sound when relled fast.I like the 10"worms too what brand you fishing?

Re: jtexas(toads)

I have heard about ribbits, in fact I was looking for 'em at Academy last week but they didn't have any. Lots of hydrilla around, usually holds some bass. I'm a sucker for a splashy topwater strike.<br /><br />I bought some homemade worms on ebay, copy of zoom trick worms, turned out real good. And the phantom ringworms, don't think they make that size anymore, I still have 2 or 3 packages.<br /><br />Have you tried the Wave Worms tiki snake - I got a tip on 'em last week, bought some but haven't tried 'em yet...they say fish 'em on top like a frog or dead-stick. I like their tiki stick, it's a senko but tougher, lasts longer & not so pricey.

Re: jtexas(toads)

Yea J,i use the yiki here they last longer and are cheaper,ive been fishing them like a senko but i throw up on the srass and give them little jerks like a jerk bait,the fish just blow up on them,and then when i get a edge of grass i just letem flutter down.I tried the zoo horney toads,the yum toad non have the same action or sound as the ribbit.

Re: jtexas(toads)

how are you rigging the senkos, what size hooks? I like a 4/0 or 5/0 offset for weedless (like a t-rig) but they seem too big for a 5" or 6" stick worm, seems like it interferes with the action. <br /><br />I just don't like having a big inventory of different hooks, takes up space & money, retie all the time, etc.<br /><br />I use the offset hooks for wacky-rigging too but I'm thinking a live bait hook like a circle hook might be better. I've had pretty good luck with 'em in timber, but you have to drop it straight down beside the tree as possible - it'll catch on a snag if you cast it. Ever try to fish a wacky rig in grass?

Re: jtexas(toads)

I use a 3/0 oshausy or offset hook texas rigged without the weight at times ill use a 5/o widegap so if there not hitting the stick bait i can pull it off and throw a fluke.Never fished wackystyle i need to try it.
