One tip that I've found to work great is to add (4) copperhead bb's into the belly of the frog. You can insert them through the hole that the hook comes through in the underside middle of the belly. This along with trimming the legs shorter, will reduce drag in casting and allow you to cast further and more accurately. Try it, you will be amazed.

Excellent video! I've recently began trimming the legs and spreading the hooks away from the body. Those 2 small things have greatly improved how many strikes I get, and how many fish I hook when I do get a strike. AMD you're absolutely correct. Waiting for just a second or two before setting the hook is not easy. Takes a lot of discipline!

One trick I do, especially at night is take some alkaselser. Break it into quarters. Insert them wherever you can. When you cast, most of the time you don't have to move the frog at all. Cast, and let the plop-plop-fizz-fizz do the work.

@tetonper6428 Жыл бұрын
Some great tips and great comments. One of the techniques already mentioned in comments but add a bit to it. Maybe I like it because I caught my PB 10.5#, using it and that fish went wild LOL. If you have a lot of bass that like to lay up in bank undercuts, logs by the bank or rocks this has produced well. Throw the frog on the bank where you have a ways before water a foot or more if possible. Then just let it set for a minute or two (seems like an hour when you are wanting to catch fish), then bump it a few inches and wait another 30 seconds or so, then bump maybe several inches and wait. I do this 3 or 4 times. Then sit right on the edge for another 30 seconds to a minute. Excruciating for you but apparently the same for the bass! I have had a number of spectacular blowups doing this and caught some great fish in the lake we lived on in TX. If you can watch a frog on the bank, they rarely jump boom, boom, boom and into the water unless something is after them! Also, if you get a chance to fish on a super clear lake where you can see the fish coming out of cover for your lure, you can learn a lot about what stimulates the fish in that lake. My current favorite lake has crystal clear water in the spring. When the frog hits the water it stimulates fish 10' away or more and they come in a hurry. Some days if you don't move the frog, they stop and turn going back to their cover. If you start reeling while they are running to it they come on and hit it on some days. Or if it doesn't start moving, they don't come back. On other days they do just the opposite and swim over after stopping. You give it a twitch and bam. So to add to comments by others, if they aren't hitting your favorite method of letting it sit and twitch. Try letting it sit a very short bit and taking off. Frogs are likely triggered by their enemy making a big move towards them too. It was a big surprise to see fish come smoking out of cover from much further away then many people say or think they do. Simply the sound of it hitting the water will trigger them from at least 10' away if they are hungry.

Cast the frog past the pads/mats onto the shore and then pop them into the water. Also don't be too fast to set the hook as soon as you see a splash, let them take the frog first and once you feel it, set the hook. A nice easy hook set is all you need. Using too much power on hookset can rip it out of the fishes mouth or barely hook it on the lip instead of a nice solid hook set on top of mouth.

I don't know what it is about my pond, but if I keep the frog still for 10-20 seconds, out of nowhere, the fish just comes and eats the frog! Try this out on your favorite spot where you know there will be a fish, because tlfrogs do that! They naturally stay in one spot for a long time, and out of nowhere, the fish will come and grab it! If your day is slow on fish, use this technique for bass when their not biting fast retrieval frog lures.
