Default Need help for Frog

Just wondering if it is possible to avoid the "belly up" of frog. I mean when the frog such as Tiki toad, honey toad and buzz frog whatever, is belly up, it is easy to hang up weeds because the hook point is upsidedown.

Get a scum frog. Never had this problem with them I use the popper and the frog and they both float true for me.As far as how to get those you have to stop, I really don't know.Only use the SF.

on a soft frog you must make shure that youre hook is very streight and center or youre frog will trun over on to the side that is off set hope that helps

Seems to me this happens alot. I just make sure the hook point stays burried just under the skin. They still hit them upside down or right side up.

Another trick is to pull the rubber out of a rubber core sinker and crimp it to the hook(the sinker, not the rubber core ). If you stop it it will sink, but it ought to run right with the added weight.

How about using this kinda hook? I have two packages of them 1/16 oz and 1/8 oz:



That makes sense! However, do you think it will affect the Tiki toad's kinda "buzz" action?

Thanks

It should work OK.....
Hopefully the hook is large enough to go back between the legs and still skin hook the point on top of the frog.....

Try the Swamp Donkey from Reaction Innovations. www.reactioninnovations.com I have not a had a problem with them turning over or not running true and I have been throwing them into some thick stuff. The hook ride so close to the body that it does not pick up any gunk. They run about $8.00 a piece and have a variety of colors. We have been catching some toads, (8lbers and my buddies new PB 10lb 3oz,) out here in AZ. Gotta love that tw bite.
