Savage Gear Tough Toad is a topwater frog designed for fishing where most lures simply fail. If you’re working over weeds, reeds or heavy cover, this is the kind of lure that lets you go straight into those spots and actually fish them effectively.
The Tough Toad runs high on the surface and stays there even on the pause. That gives you a big advantage – you can stop the lure and give predators time to commit. The twin curved paddle tails kick hard, creating a strong disturbance and a clear surface trail that provokes aggressive strikes.
This is a lure made for tough spots. It works over dense weed beds, shallow vegetation and snaggy areas where standard lures struggle. It allows you to fish places that are often left untouched.
Made from ToughTec TPE, this lure is significantly more durable than standard soft plastics. It handles repeated strikes, contact with cover and aggressive fishing without tearing apart quickly.
Based on 3D scans of a real toad, the shape and details give it a natural look in the water. Combined with the kicking tail action, it creates a convincing target that predators instinctively attack.
While it excels as a surface lure, the Tough Toad can also be used as a trailer on heavier setups. This adds versatility and allows you to adapt it to different fishing situations.
Perfect for anglers who enjoy topwater fishing and are not afraid of fishing in heavy cover. If you target pike and want to reach areas where others can’t, this lure fits the job.
This is a lure built for specific conditions – weeds, shallow water and heavy cover. Strong action, high buoyancy and durability make it a reliable choice when standard lures stop working.
