Have you thought about getting some on line. I think Monster Tackle sells them.

lake fork trophy lures makes a frog similar to the ribbit, but only better.  the legs are designed different and have lots more action.

Sizmic Toads
Actually I think they may have been out before Ribbits.
I turned to Ribbits because they were out at the time of Sizmics and Ribbits were new and 'pretty colors'  ;D, so I tried them.

Ribbits have more weight and slightly wider.

Call around, in Wi. a lot of places carry the Sizmics.

Gander Mt. has them.
If one's close and they don't have them in stock, they definitly have them on line and will ship to store....usually, couple of days.
Got Bulls and regulars, Hot Feets too.

I don't pour any plastics, but do like the Sizmic frogs. I probably use the PopN Frog version that floats the most.

Another frog I like is made by Cache Custom Lures that they call a Thunder Toad. It's just under 4" long, is a bit beefier than the Ribbit or Sizmic in the body, but the legs have real good action to them. Cache has some very cool colors too.  :)

I just bought some Damiki Air Frogs after watching Scotts and Brian Thrift videos. I think I found another Frog to  ~heart. They float like a Spro and Buzz like a Ribbit.  I will give them a good work out in a couple of weeks when I get up to Michigan to fish with my son and will be sure to do a report and review of them. They should do great on them pad and grass lakes up there.
