New Lures to try out? Wondering what everyone is looking at or has purchased to try this year?
Last July at the ICAST show in Vegas, Koppers got the top award for the Best Soft Lure for their hollow bodied frogs. Curiosity got the best of me after hearing all the talk about them. So, I had to add a couple to my collection. I’ve been a die-hard for Spro’s, until this last fall. (which I sold all my Spro’s this winter on ebay)
I got them a little late in the year, so the slop bite was really coming to an end when I tried them out. The realistically color job on them is over-the-top compared to other frogs. But the biggest thing you notice immediately is how soft they are. They collapse so much easier than any other frog I have ever tossed. I had 6 blow ups and connected on 4 of them. All four had the double wide gap hooks burried in the roof of the mouth, so I was very pleased with the hook up ratio and hook sets.
I noticed while working at the Bass Pro this last weekend, they finally had them in stock. They cost about $.80 more than a spro, but I think with better hook sets, its worth the extra change and a bottle of super glue.
