    Freddy Frog

    Livingston has one that makes a croaking sound now, has anyone noticed a difference from fishing a regular frog, or is this just another lure to catch the fisherman?

    I've long felt that all that Livingston stuff was a gimmick, but they're still selling it so it must be working for them. There must be some people that believe in it.

    I've used some of their stuff and didn't notice any difference in my catches, so I lean towards gimmick.

    Look at their designs. They are copies of long proven lure designs. Sounds are gimmicks for the most part.
