Whatever works 🤙

I got a frog for $1.96 at Walmart. Got a few hits the first day but couldn’t set the hook. Next day I waited a second when he took it and then WHAM! I set that hook and went to war. I was certain the line was going to break but I got him! 5 pounder. 22inches long. Great lure!

My man just came across your video me and my sons did everything you said and I’ll be damned we caught three big mouth bass. We’re actually going back out today this time if we catch something I’m videotaping thanks you so thank you so much from fisherman to fisherman

Man that makes me happy to hear! I’m glad the tips can help somebody out!

Also trim one side of the legs shorter 1/4” than the other it will help walk the dog. Also, bend the hooks ever so slightly up to get better hook sets

Thanks man I needed the tips on fishing with a frog I appreciate the information

Glad that I could help!

WHAT!? I was bass fishing off my dock and my lake is super weedy so I was using the frog lure. I've never fished with one and had a "general" idea of how to use it but I didn't know a lot. So today I got a total of 3 bites and the mere second I felt a pull, I just jerked a little bit and then started reeling in. Next time I'll wait a minute, jerk REALLY HARD, and then start reeling. Hopefully, that'll give me better luck on catching something. I've never caught a bass before so I'm learning ha.

I’m glad I’m not the only one that thinks of these tips I’ve been trying different ways to catch off these and different techniques definitely help

That the most important thing with all top waters, especially frogs. Gotta give it that second to make sure the fish fully has it before setting the hook.

Another tip for frogs boil them. Sounds crazy but putting your frogs in boiling water for a couple minutes makes them much soft and you will have better hook up ratio

i appreciate it i was using a frog the other day and was trying to figure out the best retrieval so this helps

These are solid to the point tips no bs, thank you man

Nice thanks 👏🏼 I’ll give it a shot.

Thanks that was actually super helpful

Thank You so very much I really appreciate your explanation technique. Thank you once again. last year they caught anything and I couldn’t understand what I was doing wrong. I’m hoping this spring will be better.

Thanks for making this video just bought my first frog a couple days ago

Nice

Thank you ❤

Heavy rod helps big time wit hook up. Another tip ✅

Personally I cutt 1 side of the frogs strings or legs you can say..about half way and it gives it a walk like look when fishing seem to help quite a bit. The other side of the legs stay only if u try cutting 1 side of the legs/strings will give a walk like look

Best advice ever

A trick I use with my hollow-bodied frogs is to 'tune' the hooks by using pliers to bend the hooks upward about 25°. This keeps the hooks from pressing against the body of the frog, and increases my hook set probability considerably, all while keeping the frog weedless.

Tip #4 throw it on a 7’0”-7’3” Heavy rod a high speed reel and 50lb braid. SUPER important to catch more fish

Dude I’m having the toughest time catching anytbing in frogs, tried morning evening and even middle of the night. Tried black white and natural colors, walking them popping them everything I just can’t never get a bite!

Also when the bass strikes count "1 Mississippi" then hook that sucker

True. You definitely want to let them eat it!

I got that base it is so good guys go try it out❤❤😊😊

I love trimming the skirts on my frogs, imo I’ve had better outcome for hook setting only my 2nd year into bass fishing no complaints at all. Bass fishing is an addiction for sure

Not sure if you’ll see this but I have always bent the hooks up a little bit and catch 80% more frog fish

Tip #5 the more u don’t think about the way u retrieve it the better it is I swear I catch fish when I’m not trying as hard

Good video

Man... i been practicing with my frog lure and havent even gotten a hit. Switch back to the weedless wacky and got a strike on the first cast. My wacky never fails but my other lures do.

Still trying to get one on a frog, but I am determined!!

@@thesouthwes Woohoo! Thank you! I ain't giving up!

I have a KVD frog that looks similar to that one,I’m in northern Ohio and it’s kinda hard to fish a frog that big with smaller bass

I caught a 5 pounder bass with my top water frog (googen squad)

Yay at my grandpa witch was at the lake there was a spot that had a tree and there was a HUGE fish living there at least a 4 pounds and it was so big that it dragged my frog right into the weed and all I got out of it was a huge chunk of sea weed I also caught like a 2 pound bass but right when I got it to the sea wall it got unhooked so I lost two fish😅

Only throw a frog on braid, heavy braid. Anything else and you’ll either not get the hook in them good or you won’t land them at all or both.

Tip # 1 bend the hooks up. Tip # 2 cut off 1-1/2 inches of skirt Tip # 3 Buy any frog that’s extremely soft so you don’t lose any fish on setting the hook.

I like to stick a few beads in them to give em a little rattle

After this I went and tried it out and caught 4 bass nice size but the fourth one broke my line and toke my topwater

Try a regular frog besides a popper frog 😊

This is why I have been needing! Fished frogs maybe 2-3 times and only got a bite, no hook. Any frog recommendations as far as brand and style?

@thesouthwes

Жыл бұрын

A lot of companies make great frogs, so it comes down to personal preference mostly. I will say if you want more bites and better hook ups, try a Google Squad mini filthy frog! They still cast easily but get bit way more since they are smaller

I have been fishing a frog according to the guides atleast once a trip for the past 4 years and have never once had a bite. I've gone every time of day done all the fancy tricks, im not convinced bass eat frogs

Went and got me a 4.6 on a frog this morning before work just barely sucked it in if I wasn’t looking at my frog I would have missed him, most the big ones I catch on frogs don’t totally destroy it

Yeah I’ve experienced the same thing. I think it depends on you work your frog too. I think they hit it harder if you are working the frog faster. Normally when I’m slowly popping it the bass will just come up and suck it in.

Yawn🥱 I take those double hooks out and put a #4 wire weedless hook down. I bought 15 frogs for $20 on Amazon. 5 were 2" inch bodies. Those little frogs are Lightening!!

Any certain colors work better when it’s sunny or cloudy?

I don’t know if it’s proven, but I like to go more natural when it’s clear. Maybe like a leopard frog colored belly. I like white or black when it’s really cloudy outside

Close to the junk 😂 naw bro i flat out run heavy braid for the reason of take the risk and put it on that heavy cover

Lmfao you got this off a pros youtube

My pfp was on a frog, I live in ohio

That particular frog is not made for walking the dog

Boil your frog too

Are another tip to increase hooked up ratios is to boil your frogs. Yes, boil them in hot water. This will make the plastic significantly softer and typically leads to more hook ups.

Ive got another tip don't throw frogs

I got that base it is so good guys go try it out❤❤😊😊
