Wow! very unique, indeed! It looks innocuous, vividly colored, yet battle ready!

Nice fish, too; toad.

A bit different is rather an understatement. If I used those colors standing on the deck of my boat, the bass would scarper :lol:

Wow didn't know such things existed. The Toy Machine reels are entertaining. I'll have to own one of their spin cast reels some day.

wow never seen or heard of frog products fishing equipment. Are the rod grips legit fishing grips or more of a collectors item?

They're legit. There is quite a market for retro, and outlandish Topwater rods, reels and lures in Japan.

I've looked into those rods and reels. How are they? Is there a lot of slop in the reel or fairly tight tolerance?
