As far as swapping hands..Aaron I've been fishing like that for years..before my toad hits the water..I've already swapped hands..I make very long cast to advoid spookng the fish...since the toad wants to sink it's imperative that I'm actually turing the crank at the same instance the toad hits the water..that way I don't waste 10 foot of water getting the toad surfaced and upright..

For me..it's LONG Casssst { change hands } watch toad just hit and crank with my 6.4 ratio real to squish squish..pause..then I actually start fishing the toad.BUT it's very good getting that intial good presentation..I usally drop that baby one inch from the shore's edge..just when she hits..click goes the reel and squish goes the toad..Yeah!! I'm going fising tomorrow..that;s it.
