Booyah ToadRunner Jr Topwater Frog Lure – Leopard Frog, Weedless, Standard

Overview

The Booyah ToadRunner Jr is the compact, topwater frog lure designed to mimic a small prey movement on the surface. Its Leopard Frog pattern stands out in the shallows, while the hollow body delivers a crisp silhouette that catches the eye. This Standard version brings the beloved features of the larger model into a smaller package, making it well suited for small ponds, tight weedlines, and bass that respond to a subtler presentation.

Key design choices blend ease of use with realistic action. The lure is built around a modified Pad Crasher body with side rails that help it plane and stay upright as you retrieve. Precisely sized legs balance the lure in motion, producing a lifelike wobble whether you glide it, pause it, or change pace. A 360-degree rotating tail creates a distinctive plop, and the molded-in wire lets you bend the tail to tweak motion and sound on the fly. The clear tail helps draw attention to the body’s silhouette, and an additional tail is included for quick swaps to alter the feel and noise profile.

Practice and tips for best results are straightforward. In thick weed or tangled cover, the ToadRunner Jr shines when fished with a steady, ongoing retrieve or a stop-and-go cadence that mimics a cautious prey movement. The package includes weedless hooks and an extra tail so you can adapt to different waters and bass responsiveness without changing gear.

What to expect on the water

From the first cast, you may notice a crisp surface pop as the 360-degree tail spins into motion. The tail’s bendable wire lets you tune the action—slower for wary fish, quicker for more aggressive strikes. The Leopard Frog color stays visible in sun or shade, helping the fish focus on the main body. The result is a lure that invites surface attention while keeping line tension steady for controlled hooksets.
