wo froggy

garry_3000 · 07-28-06, 11:51 AM

I have been fishing swimming frogs{horny toads, sizmic, cane toads, ect.} and I picked up some bronze eye frogs to try out. My question is can you only fish and plastic body frog in grass and lillys, or can they be fished in or around rocks and trees or other cover? Any tips would be of help thanks.

Yes, i fish them anywhere, around docks are really good and definently trees and cover thats the best

EVERYWHERE, I love my frogs, they are my summer go to bait, for fishing all cover.

rebel frogs are my frog of choice.

Welcome to the board bluefish, have never had much luck persoinally w/ any rebel lure.

I normally only throw frogs around mats, and then only sparingly. They will catch fish other places, but with the poor hookup percentage why handicap yourself?

True, they do have a terrible hookoup rate.

but topwater explosions sure are exciting.

bassking22 · 07-30-06, 07:08 PM

Yeah my first one almost made me lose my combo. lol

Rodman_Rob · 07-30-06, 11:30 PM

i peed my pants when I saw my first one. and then I peed them again when I caught my second one on a topwater.................come to think of it, I still pee my pants when I see a topwater explosion, lol.

That's so true! Specially in dawn when the lake is quiet!

Last week on vacation I tried the tex-poser style hooks on horney toads and other frog baits. Seemed to give me a better hook up ratio. Brought the hook point through the very back of the toad and buried the point just under the back.

I've been using the new Buzz Frog from Yum with amazing success. The funny thing is that with this lure I have had better luck using it in open wateer just on the edge of the weeds, around brush, and so on, than I have in the slop. Those swimming legs when I retireve it like a buzz bait seems to drive bass nuts!
