They are fantastic baits. I’ve been throwing them since they first came out.
The shad looks like a buzzbait. It throws a lot of water.
Both of them have been quite durable for me as well. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

Sweet deal…you think they work better than the SPRO?
Unless Spro started making a solid frog, you’re comparing apples to oranges.
To me, solid bodied frogs and hollow frogs like the Spro are 2 totally different baits.
Those Spro frogs are great baits, but I won’t compare them to the Rage products.
February 17, 2009 at 3:00 pm #749416Blue hit the nail on this one – The rage shad displaces so much water and sounds like a freight train coming across the top … it’s more or less a frog buzzbait…..but unlike Blue said – they don’t work

buck_slayer01Posts: 54February 17, 2009 at 6:58 pm #749532Hey I was wondering what kind of hook people are using for the rage shad weighted unweighted?
February 17, 2009 at 7:06 pm #749538It says on the back of the bag to use a 4/0 to 6/0 wide gap hook. I looked at a 5/0 and I thought that might actually be to big for the bait, so I think I would go with a 4/0
February 18, 2009 at 6:29 pm #749862I’ve heard great things about the Rage Baits. The promotion video looks pretty convincing that they are a work of art.
February 19, 2009 at 5:07 pm #750413I got a pack of the shad while in PDC for a tournament last year. I got a fish on my first cast with them. I used them in Minn on vacation and caught a ton of fish.
The problem I had with them is short striking fish will take the tail right off the bait. Forget about resuing when you hook up with a northern of any size.
But like said they are great lookin in the water. I will be using more this season.

At a buck a bait, that’s the cheapest frog on the market.
I don’t think I have ever paid more than 50 cents a piece for a Zoom Horny Toad or Sizmic Toad.
February 23, 2009 at 5:58 pm #751564five, six years ago, I gave the guys from Gander a couple of sizmic toads Before UNCLE JOSH bought the company.. and I told them it was the hot bait down south.. and both of the guys looked at me like I was nuts..
I guess things change..
March 8, 2009 at 12:04 am #755947spent some time working on this last year…like BF said, the two types of frogs are ‘floaters’ and ‘buzzers’ … and there are times when fish definitely prefer one over the other. If you try enough brands, you may also notice that they’ll prefer one brand over another from time to time.
Rigging is critical…and when done right can give you strike/hook ratios rivaling plastic worms…
