Torturing us iced over peeps with the 🐸 content... 😆 thanks a lot guys

Thanks for the knowledge Master Splinter...

Frog fishing: The thing I suck at most, but have so much fun doing!!

Thank you so much for making this video! I’ve been trying to understand how to fish using a frog correctly, and this video is one that I learned so much from. I’m definitely adding this to my saved videos, for future reference!

Great content. Lots of good info on frog fishing techniques and tackle.

I’m so glad you posted a video on this. I’ve been looking at starting to use a frog.

I sincerely appreciate your videos! I have literally learned much on a variety of fishing topics. I wish to take this opportunity to thank you for your valuable instructions and insights. Outstanding!

Good straight forward presentation. Thanks

Great video,one of the best complete frog videos I have seen! Thanks

Great info....thanks brother!

Thanks for sharing my friend!

Great stuff as always, a ton of great info....lets see that Spro Wall of frog colors!!!!! Cheers

Hey good timing I was waiting for a video

First off, congratulations on 10 years Hadecki. Second, they all look amazing. And third, all of the old schoolers know what's up with that material, so I'm really looking forward to getting my hands on some of them.

Great Video👍

My go to is a Daiwa Tatula Elite Ish frog rod on a 13 fishing Concept C on 65lb Daiwa J braid. Good compromise between strength, castability, sensitivity, etc.

When fishing a frog, you would think to imitate the movement of a real frog instead of walking the frog lol.

Great video! Liked and subbed

Booyah padcrasher and spro 65 are my favorites. Gonna try a jackall this year

I've been waiting for this video. I'm about ready to sell all the frogs I bought.

I’ve been fishing frogs for 10 plus years more like 15 .. I’ve been through these struggles .. I have a series 1 or year 1 st croix legend tournament bass slop n frog rod .. my rod is 7 foot heavy fast full cork .. I can’t say if there is a better rod , as I only use my ltb frog rod .. I can say my ratio of landed fish to bite is trough the roof .. I personally believe it’s due to the rod action .. imo perfect ..

Best thing I ever did for my frogging success was buying the Poker. So much power there that it basically hides any flaw in your technique for hook sets or getting them out of the cover

I’ll say on the hook set I kinda found that happy medium where it’s like that 3/4 hookset not straight to the side and not straight up and down right in between the two I have found that has worked in most scenarios

What about the Valkyrie line of rods for frogs… curious what you think of any of these?! 7’1 heavy 7’2 heavy or 7’4 heavy + I like the idea of the 7’4 and being able to also use it for A-rigs and smaller swimbaits, but is the taper to slow? Ps- welcome back!

Nice time to take a drink everytime Ben says “right”

I love this channel. The only suggestion that I have, is adding some lower budget rods and reels that will do the job well. I wish I could afford Steez and Orochi. I understand that you are giving us the BEST information, but we can’t always afford $800-$900 frog combos(or whatever style) and afford to buy anything else.

Licking a toxic frog. That's the worst kind of mistake you can make with a Frog.

I just purchased two FMJ’s from you and with the hopes of one of them being my go to frog rod. Did you guys throw any frogs on them last year?

Haven't found a frog of any type other than the jackell kaera frog, all other frogs don't come close for me up here in Canada. Mind u I haven't used every frog on the market. But 40 years of frog fishing . Nothing I've tried yet comes even close too catching them like kaera 💯🇨🇦🐸for me

What would your suggestion be for a rod to skip frogs under docks?

Gavacho is amazing. So easy to walk.

It would seem obvious but you might have mentioned that when you are doing your jerks you should be doing them on a slack line. As always this was another excellent video.The problem I have is how to bend the hooks out. Obviously too much and you will just snag yourself in the grass. Do you always bend them out or sometimes out and up. I suppose that would depend upon the frog you are using.

I'm going to have to try the pinky thing. I do almost the exact opposite. I lay my index finger on the rod and twitch it to walk frogs.

7'3" Heavy Diawa Rebellion or 7'1" heavy plus Zodias for frogging and small swimbaits?

I’ve had several days where the fish would explode violently on the frogs, sometimes coming completely out of the water, and totally miss the frog. Over and over, big fish just kept missing it. I wonder if slowing down my cadence or trying a different frog style or color might work in those situations. It’s so frustrating.

I love frog fishing!!! Bet Geoff thinks there too fun deep down

Waiting to feel the bass take the fish helps let you know when to set hook. You can even pull ever so lightly to see if the bass has it. Just light enough to feel a little resistance then jack it. Most of the time they don't spit it out because they are used to prey squirming and trying to escape their mouths.

Hey I have a black teckle sprinker frog with the solid black tail but I can't find solid black tails anywhere, do you have them or can you get them?

Thoughts on the destroyer valdivia paired with a 7:4 curado DC? 70# samurai braid

I manage a tackle store myself and one my observations about rods...I tell customers if you really want spend money on a rod I tell them a jig worm or high end spinning is where I would spend money (counting rocks)....the last few years I think a frog rods needs to be added...frogging a heavy rod will wear you out...its amazing how much it helps not just the wear tear to my shoulders but how much easier it is to walk the frog...my rods are the Expride 7'3"XH, 7'2"H and the Kage 7'4" ...great content👊

Hey Ben how do you like that new Zillion HD? Been on the fence but pretty sure I’m picking that one up!

In a pinch, could the Triza Dragoon throw a lighter frog like a Jackall Kaera? If not, is there a travel rod you would recommend for throwing a frog? Thanks!

I lost a monster. Fresh braid. Snapped it. 30lbs. Was told their mouth can act as sand paper and she braid. I really shouldn't use a mono leader? I used steel leaders for awhile but they got roughed up from lily pads and had small sharp wires showing

Thoughts on line color for frog fishing??? I'm sure green is preferred . . . I have a bunch of white 65# spools . . . anyone seen any negatives fishing white braid?

You guys forgot about the large scooper frog 🐸. That's the best frog with true action on the water.

During the video you guys talked about the new p5’s coming in, griff mentioned the fmj would make a killer frog rod. What’s your opinion on that?

3rd Time watching, letting soak in👊

Most baitcasters have a max drag of 11lb. Is that enough for frog fishing? It seems light. My spinning reel is 6.1 with 22lb drag.

Damn your hair grows fast! 😁

Do you ever wait to feel the weight of the fish before hitting them?

Just gotta tempt me with a new TS destroyer huh?

Also if you suck at frog fishing . Ribbitz makes frogs that have great movement ,leg movement only problem they don’t last long one or 2 big fish forget it never works good anymore .

Also when is the release of the new Orochi X10? Any word?

Man I love the action on the Gavacho but I can’t get a hook set to save my life. I’m getting close to giving up on it.

Why do all the different color frogs have basically the same white gray or black underbelly? The fish never see the top of the frog which is the colors that we’re buying.

U really don't need to let anyone no about that kaera frog. Shhh🙈🙉🙊

handle's brill have nothing bad to say and think i mite getting 9ft ugly stik to grate rod for a grate price ☺

Ive had some success fishing my finesse/popping frogs with a short mono leader. 65 to 30lb leader with FG knot, double SD jam, split ring to allow the baits to walk. It’s a plenty strong connection for monster saltwater fish and it’s plenty strong for bass. I think it has made a difference for me on pressured fisheries on clear water blue sky days

I like someone who talks frankly even with expletives. My kind of guy; and don't call you Shurley right? PS I only threw a frog once with a surf-casting rod in a pasture pond. He hit it so hard I shit my pants.

Liked video but, no mention of rod length...

Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? 🤯

Ok a lot of good stuff . However you don't have to use high $frogs to be successful. I fish frogs only and between 5-6 days a week in between ice coming and going in NW PA. . I catch 5-6# bass on Trucend frogs in 3different sizes, Runcle frogs , and Booyahs regular and Jr podcrashers as well as some other less expensive frogs. I do not walk frogs as I fish very dense mats and pads. I would like to add to your "bow" to the frog on a hook set method. I think you may have left out a part that is extremely important while bowing ? Most likely because you just naturally do it while "bowing" . As you bow point the rod down at the fish and most importantly reel up twice before setting the hook. This will lead to the part about feeling the weight of the fish that someone asked about. The reason you don't want a fast hook set is that you are actually cracking the whip and forcing the fish mouth open instead of when the fish feels the pressure of the line tightening it will clamp down harder to prevent the bait from escaping which is a perfectly normal reaction. This will increase your hook up ratio better than buying a high priced frog and trying to walk it. Just sayn'. I did enjoy your video and references to high priced gear over all . My rods are heavy fast and x-heavy fast with Lew's 8:1 reels. But if you don't get an initial good hook set none of the gear really matters.

Still trying to find a way to get these damn fish to bite a frog through 12 inches of Ice. Auger and Chainsaw is out, will keep posted.

I don't throw frogs. Weightless flukes work much better for me. Even more weedless and almost 100% hook up ratio. It does suck that they can't be cast out as far.

smh its frozen in OR cant think of frogging :/

Letting the frog sit for 15-20sec after it hits the water, draws a decent reaction bite. Just be ready 😎

Are you a fan of the boota frog

I've lost a mondo before bc one of the two barbs went through a frog that was already in it's mouth. Just one of the million other ways to lose a fish on a frog.

Do you ever worry about breaking the rod throwing braid that heavy?

Buy live target frogs. Hands down best frogs on the market.

Frog fishing fo life…..

SPRO makes the absolute worst frogs I’ve ever had. Close behind that would be the gavacho. The Jackall gavacho has great action great colors. However they are to hard they are okay once you bend those hooks way out!

Hahahaha "your welcome mf"

Not if a sanoran

Frogs catch hogs . Love them .

Upgrade your Frog Hood.

Boil your Frog,makes em softer.

Going to try to help. I see 36 minutes…I’m out. Especially while scrolling and there is no b-roll. Can’t believe this can’t be 8-10 minutes or broken into shorter segments. There are a gazillion fishing videos. 36 minutes of you talking is not as appealing as demos done on the water.
