Caught First on a Frog

creekman · 08-02-10, 11:58 AM

I reached my goal for saturday morning, I landed a chub on a frog. That was my only goal and that was all I landed, LOL. Boy is it a fun bait, caught in the lilly pads, had total of four blow ups, only hooked and landed that one, but hey its progress and a fun lure. Rob

What size pole are you using? If your not having much sucess I would recommend upgrading to a 7ft pole! hope this will help!

plinker1 · 08-02-10, 05:15 PM

Spro Bronze Eye in Red Ear, and my pole is a Diawa Tierra 6'6" MH, I know, I know, my buddy has already talked me into gettin a 7' Heavy, ( I am thinking about trying a Abu Vendetta????)

Ugh?? Why am I posting under two different names????? anyway this is creekman responding.

Evidently I signed up twice and did not remember the first time I called myself Plinker1, it recognized my e-mail and had me logged in as Plinker1. I'm back straight now, Rob

Congrats on the frog bass. Thats a heck of a great way to up the blood pressure when you see that toad unload on that frog, lol.

Sometimes they just blow up or slash at a bait,but also the hook set is quite different with a floating frog one sees the blowup,hopefully does not feel it,pointing rod down and at it count to 3 and reel in slack and side sweep.Result will be a lot more hookups.
I love a commode flush,and my heavy action Kistler.

walkeraviator · 08-02-10, 10:23 PM

lilmule nailed it.. you gotta give the fish a chance to get it all in his mouth...

Rebbasser · 08-02-10, 11:29 PM

I use my 7'2" MH Vendetta for frogging. No problems hooking up or handling the fish. Just make sure you let the fish have the frog good before setting the hook. It will help the catch ratio. Sometime it's best to not even watch the frog.

Never had tons of luck on the bronze eye. I like the river2sea best, for lower priced frogs. And some 17$ one I got a while back, loved that frog!

Don't remember the brand though.. TW used to have them on sale, no more though.
