The only thing (if you were to use it) is that the hook is facing downward... even with a weed guard that still might snag some thick lily pads. The only frogs I have seen were facing upward. Wonder if either one has a different hook up ratio.hmmm

That's the hook? I thought it was just a well hung frog.

Hey guys sorry for my MIA lol!! Ill answer all questions. Yes its a Renosky, I threw it around in the pool a bit and there's no action whatsoever, no leg kick, no side to side, so I probably won't fish it. And that hook can move 180 degrees so you can lay it flat to either side of the frog. It sticks out far enough but I can still see manyyyy missed hooksets with it laid flush.
