Four‑Seven 3.5" Thrash Toad – Compact Buzzing Frog / Trailer | QwikFishing
How, where, and why it excels
Bladed Jig Trailer (3/8–1/2 oz) — situational

When & where: Wind on grass edges or mudlines when you want extra thump without a bulky boot tail.

How: Slow‑roll; the twin paddles kick behind the blade for a tighter pulse.

Buzz Bait Trailer (1/4–1/2 oz)

When & where: Dawn/low light, wind lanes, and shallow cover. Adds lift and a second rhythm under the blade.

How: Reel just fast enough to keep it up; rod tipped high over grass. Add a trailer keeper or a tiny gel‑glue dot.

Spinnerbait Trailer (1/4–1/2 oz) — situational

When & where: Stained water and shad pushes. Tight paddles keep lift without overpowering the blades.

Swim Jig Trailer (1/4–3/8 oz)

When & where: Eelgrass/milfoil lanes and laydown lines.

How: Point‑and‑go; tick cover then burst—paddles flare and re‑catch quickly.

Texas Rig (toad style • 1/16–1/8 oz or keel 1/16–3/32)

When & where: Pads, cheese, and flooded brush.

How: Cover water with a steady grind; kill it in the holes—strikes often come on the restart.

Weighted Swim Bait Hook (3/0–5/0 • 1/16–1/8 oz)

When & where: Open grass, cypress knees, and shallow rock.

How: Slow buzz or sub‑surface wake. The keel weight keeps it tracking and the feet never blow out.

Weightless Rig (double‑frog hook or 4/0–5/0 EWG)

When & where: Calm mornings and tight quarters where silent entries matter.

How: Long casts, steady wind, twitch‑twitch in the holes. Add a small swivel 12–18" up to reduce twist.

Trim & Mods (quick hits)
  • Feet tune: If it rolls at high speed, slightly pinch one paddle to balance or add a 1/16 keel.
  • Keeper assist: A tiny gel‑glue dot at the screw‑lock or buzzbait keeper saves baits.
  • Hooking: Skin‑hook the point; open the bend a hair for thicker grass.
Dial it in (color classes)
  • Dark / Silhouette: Black Sapphire, Junebug — best for night, shade, mud, and low light.
  • Shad / Bright: White/Pearl, Smoke w/ flake — wind lanes, shad spawns, and buzzbait trailer duty.
  • Naturals: Green Pumpkin / Watermelon — clear water and mixed cover when fish are inspecting.
  • Hi‑Viz Punch: Chartreuse / bone with chart tips — dirty water and smallmouth over grass.

Proof & Community

On‑the‑Water Notes

  • Cold fronts: Downsize to 3.5" and crawl—slow blade, high rod, pause in the holes.
  • Vegetation lanes: Keel‑weighted hook keeps it tracking; burn until it bulges, then kill.
  • Trailer duty: On buzzbaits, the toad adds lift so you can crawl the blade without sinking.

Q&A

Q: Toad or buzzbait trailer—when to pick which?
A: Go weightless/keel for skinny water and heavy cover; go buzzbait trailer for wind lanes and open water where you want extra lift and profile control.

Q: How fast should I retrieve it?
A: Just fast enough to keep the feet on plane—if it rolls, slow slightly or add a 1/16 oz keel.
