Which Frog is Which?

[Dogmatic]

Is it me, or do these two frogs look alike? The reason I ask is, if anyone has used either, or better yet both, because one(the Rebel) cost $4, and the other(Moreau) cost $40.

Never used either, but yeah, they look very alike and I suspect they catch very much alike. I wouldn't pay $40 for a lure for dozens of reason, one of which would be seeing a grown man cry after a pike/pickerel biteoff.

I see differences, but not $36 worth of differences and I doubt a fish would notice the differences, especially while in motion.

Have rebels, 2, bullfrog and leopard. Too new too late, haven't used. I wanted spook action but smaller and thicker. Sounds like thats what they do. The other is 3/4 in. longer and heavier. I know rebels are new, like 30-60 day new, I really don't know much aboout the other cause price scared me. Pike love top water hard baits. $5 won't make my day but it won't ruin it either. Let you know come spring. Sorry.

Well after reading the ad copy the difference is very obvious. The Moreau bait was "perfected and fine-tuned through countless hours of on the water testing and Goliath bass".!!!
I'm guessing that the guys at Rebel just spent 2 or 3 very countable hours piddling around a neighborhhood pond caught 1 or 2 dinks and said this plug is highly imperfect and way out of tune but what the He** lets just price it at $4 and take it to market?

^^^^LOL! I lose 2-3 topwaters every season to toothy critters.

[lilmule]

I know why it costs more and looks alike, cousin imported from the island of Dr Moreau
But id like to see them tossed complete with treble hooks in something like this

[kennethdaysale]

@lilmule That pic had to be low tide with a strong wind to get those lillys to look like that. Where is that?

[Dogmatic]

jeez, thats a little bit of water in his backyard...KY lake.

[kennethdaysale]

Well I guess we can rule out tidal

[lilmule]

Aint no salt water near here,they can keep dat just like the white stuff thats cold,that was a couple hundred acres of it,smaller patch closer to home within 5 miles.

That bait would do ok in open water,just not in any jungle,and can wade across both most of the year.
Another 1/2 hr away is the obion chain or canal lakes.This is middle fork

Then we have drainage ditches more akin to swamps,blood river,big sandy etc.so no shortage of skinny dipping water lilly pads or cottonmouths.2 out of 3 pics contain american lotus,1 is yellow lilly which lays lower
Gators are a protected species now in Tn

With all the publicity and pressure it gets is it still possible for somebody to get out and enjoy some peace and quiet and some peacefull fishing? or is that all gone? Fourteen years ago Lake Wylie SC still had miles of undeveloped shore and even with a big tournament going on you could still find some scluded water...not anymore

[lilmule]

The obion was a canal that didnt work out repurchased by twra and its not developed and never will be,but shore fish at risk,chock full of basking cottonmouths also chock full of bass,you can however fish from the bridges and or yak it,and never see but maybe one other person all day.
A bb can enter via the river if one picks their way thru,then hack and pole,lota work trust me
Not 3 weeks ago those pads alive and healthy and bass busting any frog,keepers at that 15 in min
