First day fishing with the Rana Toro. Third cast. 2 lb'dr. This fish was caught slow buzzing the Toro.  As I have not seen all the colors, I'm not sure if this was the Cartreuse or the Bullfrog, but the action it gives is better than the Ribbit in my opinion. ~c~ ~c~ Was just bank fishing across the street from the house. Caught a total of 5 fish on the morning. Plan on boating it this afternoon. Ole Rana Toro!  ~cf

Sounds like you did pretty good. My wife and I are going to go again this evening. What you had was the special color that I have not named it. The Olive Green is more bullfrog like.

I'll be at it again this afternoon, too.   ~gf Neighbor and I are going out late to try some spots I know. His boat is in his slip so we will be taking it rather than putting mine in at the ramp. I really enjoyed fishing the Rana Toro this morning and want to see how it performs at dusk. The color is Light Lime, like for your Corona.  ~roflmao I like the Chartreuse belly. Gonna take a break from the heat, grab a bite and a nap.  lo

I thought it was more of a yellow than a chartreuse, but maybe we got a different one. I got to try it out yesterday and I love the action. It's definitely the biggest soft plastic frog I've thrown. I think the best part is how soft the body is, which I think will help on hook-sets. Nice bass buddy! I think it'd make a nice leopard frog. I'm getting ready to post more on it in catch of the day, although I didn't get any on this El Grande lure....

I got some minnows poured in the color you had and my neighbor scored a 4 - 5 lb'r on one this evening. Didn't think about posting in catch of the day. :P OH WELL.

Awesome! It's definitely one of my favorite colors for the Minnow.
