my girlfriends father found this thing at a little shop in andover,nj. the guy who runs the shop took over ownership from his father, and they specialize in vintage tackle. i dont know the name of the shop, but i will find out soon. in the meantime, check out the vintage frog!

Wow! That thing is sweet!

You plan on fishing it?

looks more realistic than some of the new ones! Great find.

If I´m not wrong that frog was made by Renosky.

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.
