TOURNAMENT WINNING FROG!The PHAT MAT FROG (White & Snipe) are by far my favorite colors in this series. Highly recommended. This frog calls up the big ones from down deep!
THE GOAT OF FROGSIsh Monroe Design + River 2 Sea = TOP, BEST FROG EVER. There is no comparison, this is the cream of the crop. Oversized body (compare with any other brand), oversized hook, thick, durable body, walks with a slight twitch of the rod...I could go all day with how this is the only frog you should own. I have used nearly every brand, and it's not even close - River 2 Sea hit this out of the ball park. BIG FROGS = BIG BASS. See for yourself.
Cover FrogEverybody needs three frogs: Popping, Finesse, and Heavy Cover. This is the very best cover frog I’ve found! It’s heavy on the mat. It stays hooks up on the cheese. It walks super easy in the holes. It’s soft. The hooks are stout. And the hook up ratio is great. The best thing though is how it’s flat shape helps it sneak under the mat. Blow ups on a frog on top of a thick mat are always a lower percentage hook up. The bass are trying to hit an obscure target. Under the mat is the best possible situation. This frog gets in there better than any. BUT, we desperately need a Little Allen and a TW Blugill color way. PLEASE!

Comments: I didn't use this frog until this past weekend. Now, it will be my A list when the situation calls for a frog over heavy cover. It helped me land 3 Large mouth in heavy cover due to the size and rattle. Great frog!

Comments: This Frog is double the size of any ordinary frog on the market; with gargantuan hooks. I needed this frog for my recent trip to California's River Delta and Catching my PB on a Frog at 8lbs! The hooks never flexed and never bent.Frog stayed all intact- no tears whatsoever! This frog skips very well under docks, bushes, and lay-downs. Fishing this frog at my home lakes( Lake Sam Rayburn, Toledo Bend) puts me catching better average fish! River 2 Sea and Ish Monroe have built "The Frog" .

Comments: Major disappointment. First off the packaging of this frog is terrible. The frog skirt legs are folder over in the box at time of packaging. When you take the frog out of the packaging the skirt legs are bent and permanently creased. This makes the frog defective from the manufacturer. Secondly, this frog is more of a sized up BullyWa frog rather than a true Ish Monroe frog. I was expecting the frog to have the tube through technology from the Snag Proof Phat frog, it did not. This means the River2sea frog takes in water. In order to use it you have to constantly squeeze the water out. It's an inferior frog compared to the other Ish Monroe Snag Proof frog. Just stick to the popping phattie or the phat frog.

Comments: Bought 2 of these from Ish at Bass University they have stood up to 2 seasons of fishing and have pulled out several hogs of bass. They stand up well to the rigors Matt fishing and really follow Ish's advice you only need a white one and a black. One for overcast days one for bright days. And no they don't fill with water like the cheap ones.
