Often you are correct,different periods or times of the year also effect that,spawn as an example they wont eat much but tend to shoo away that which they deem as unnecessary or dangerous or attempt to kill it.
Yes open water one can get frog bit ,white generally,spro popin frog works well near buckbrush or a stump just as any other topwater, Exception being bubblegum pink around bridges.,it works like a charm there and not much elsewhere other than real thick veggies.Yes have a bubblegum pink sumo frog,rarely use it. I think a frog or a rat resembles the struggle many a creature would make when trying to swim or stay alive,mostly for me a walking type of frog works better than a straight one then if so a rat ,In my case garfield yes a cat bought it years ago as a lark works great when they want a straight retrieve.Havnt a clue but the largies love it.Second from left.

I agree that a frog bait is not always a frog... This past year when the cicadas came out I threw a spro bronzeye jr and slayed them in areas heavy in cicadas.

I am joking and not picking on the poster, I just had to pick one, I lot of you feel exactly the same. The trick, I believe, is creating the instinct, to closely resemble something the bass has seen before and been content after ingesting before. I have actually caught a large FROG on a frog hollow body. My hunch is it thought it was a frog? Oh. it was a Spro, if anyone cares. But I TOTALLY agree that 'I' place way to much concern on color, the basics should work. But remember, part of triggering instinctive reactions is definitly color. Again, this is only my opinion! Any living creature will TRY something new or by mistake at times, but we/I are trying for something that triggers that reaction by the most fish and most times. Finally, If I got to spend $10 plus on a frog and I got to watch it all day (as I'm throwing it) I want something PRETTY

Actually years ago while fishing with my wife who generally fished with a worm.
She tossed out and nice largemouth inhaled the orange and yeller bobber,east lynn lake wva,no hook in it though so came only so far but was amazing to see it disappear as soon as it hit the water,same kerwoosh I hear now days on a frog.So if one had a lifetime to toss one could place the hook near the bobber.Ever see a top prop without the triple curly tail its a bobber with two fins,and yes have caught fish on them.Smaller version is nicknamed canadian wiggler. |

My BPS has the Field Mouse in stock now. I got the larger size in brown and white. The detailing is excellent and plastic is really soft. The bait is a little more narrow than I expected and the double hook is quite a bit more narrow than a standard frog hook. The bait looks great, we'll see how it does on the water.

I don't know, it doesn't seem to be obviously replaceable.

I could never bring one of those Kopper's mouses into my house - my wife would kill me, just knowing I couldn't resist teasing HER cats with it. And I don't think I could resist, she doesn't like my "cat"fishing jokes at all. Man it it only squeeked, yep I'll soon be a dead man walking. I gotta have a couple of those great looking baits. I just won't show it to the cats. I won't show it to the cats. Honest honey........ Last edited by bassboogieman; 01-22-12 at 12:42 AM. |

I've got this thing about trying new frogs, since I love using them so much. I started out with spro's which I liked, but was not to impressed with the consistency of the bodies. Some were a lot stiffer than others, I have a black one that i won't even use.(anyone else have that problem?) I have a Bobby's Perfect and Ish's Phat frog(which I like), a Madd Maxx, Cabelas, Koppers(my favorite so far), plus 2 Spro Poppin frogs.
probably be trying these 4 this year. Already have the Pulse Frog. a guy at my local tackle shop gave it to me for hooking him up with 8 boxes of girl scout cookies! http://evolvebaits.com/?product=nervous-walker http://evolvebaits.com/?product=original-pulse-frog http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/River...ge-LDDF50.html http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Koppe...e-KOPMOUS.html The evolve nervous walker is VERY similar to the Kopers frog. I checked one out the other day. Very soft Body. The Dahlberg frog looks really cool in the water, at least on video(we'll see) and the field mouse was a must have for me as soon as it came out, unfortunately my bass season is a lot shorter than some of you guys, so Im waiting till this year to get it. Those are my thoughts.
