  1. No, that's all of the rods and reels that I have ever used to catch a frog on. Some of those I still own, but I sold a bunch. Some weren't even mine - they were my friends.
  2. I don't need all of this to fish frogs. I simply have it to mod frogs, and experiment to see if I can get the bite to be a little bit better
  3. Hollow-belly was a miserable fail and a waste of $200
  4. Here is my set up for frog fishing - RODS (all of the rods I have used to catch fish with, some of which I still have) Carrotstix rods (3x casting, 1x spinning) Wright & McGill Skeet Reese rods (2x casting, 2x spinning) Abu Garcia Vendetta rods (1x casting, 1x spinning) Team Daiwa rods (1x casting) Abu Garcia Veritas rods (3x casting, 1x spinning) Shmiano Crucial rods (2x casting, 1x spinning) Falcon Original Series rods (1x casting) Powell rods (7x casting, 2x spinning) Shimano Clarus rods (1x casting) I have had these anywhere from 6'6" to 7'6", in medium to heavy weights REELS (all of the reels I have used on the above rods, some of which I still have) Shimano Curado casting reels Quantum Accurist spinning/casting reels Abu Garcia Revo spinning/casting reels Abu Garcia Orra spinning/casting reels LINES (all of the lines I have spooled onto the above reels, some of which I still have) Sufix braided line PowerPro braided line I use 50 pound test Sufix, and 65 pound PowerPro TOOLS AND ACCESSORIES (anything that I might carry with me while on the water - if I'm not in the boat, it has to fit in my cargo shorts pockets) Mustad pliers Bass Pro Shops hook remover Lansky hook sharpeners Repel bug spray Mango Spot digital scale Gerber Air Ranger knife Red Cross first aid kit TERMINAL/SPARE LINE (any types of terminal tackle that will come with me on the water) Gamakatsu superline EWG hooks Screw-lock hooks Stanley frog hooks Mustad swimbait hooks Bass Pro Shops XPS EWG hooks Lazer Trokar flippin' hooks Moaner hooks Spare spool of braid Assorted swivels and snap swivels MOST USED FROGS (the frogs that see the water the most) Spro bronzeye frog Livetarget hollow-belly frog Booyah pad crasher Stanley ribbit frog Snag Proof Ish's phat frog OFTEN USED FROGS (frogs that see the water usually, but not every trip) Strike King rage tail toad Spro bronzeye popper Strike King KVD sexy frog Livetarget field mouse Deps slither k Spro bronzeye shad SOMETIMES USED FROGS (frogs that sometimes see the water) Jackall iobee frog Snag Proof Ish's poppin' phattie River2Sea Dahlberg diver Zoom horny toad River2Sea spittin' wa RARELY USED FROGS (frogs that just kind of sit around, and are a last resort when nothing else will work) Snag Proof bass kicker frog *** lunker frog *** combat frog Matzuo frog H2O hollow-bodied frog Spro BBZ-1 rat Boze sumo frog Scum frog Lake fork fork frog Rebel frog r Scum frog bigfoot Booyah pad crasher popper Gambler cane toad Sebile pivot frog Z-Man hard legs frog FROG MODDING KIT http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/150212-hollow-belly-frog-modding/
  5. Anybody have anything else? Other than spoons, which I will probably be getting, due to all the replies.
  6. Actually, one of my PB's was recently caught on a creme worm
  7. i can fit containers for bait. maybe not minnows, but definitely crickets, nightcrawlers, etc
  8. Hey all, I was wondering if anybody could recommend a small kit for soft-plastic pouring. I almost exclusively fish with frogs, so any frog molds you could recommend would be nice too. Thanks!
  9. Hey all, I was wondering I anybody could recommend gear to stock a Plano six-tray tackle box. Man, those things are huge! I already have some stuff in there, like: Catfish hooks and bottom rigs and floats 4 and 10 inch Powerbait Worms, Creme pre-rigged worms, Zoom lizards, Zoom Craws, and Powerbait Rib Snakes Livetarget and SPRO Frogs Livetarget mice Storm Arashi squarebills, Livetarget squarebills, Bass Pro Shops squarebills, Chatterbaits, bitsy bugs, A.T. Tackle jigs, 4x4 T-Roy swim jigs, Heddon torpedos, Rebel Pop-rs, Spooks, Lucky Craft Sammys, Livetarget poppers Bass Pro Shops panfish baits and beetle spins Worm hooks and weights and other carolina rig gear Storm swimbaits Spare trebles.split rings Fish grip, pliers, knife, hemos Booyah Pond Magic spinnerbaits, Cavitron buzzbaits Panfish flies Spare line for my panfish rod, medium rod, and froggin' rod So, I was wondering if you guys could suggest some other baits and terminal and stuff to throw in there. I have the opportunity to fish for bass, panfish, catfish, and pickerel every day. I also get the chance to fish for snakehead, trout, stripers, and the occasional smallie/walleye whenever I go up to Maryland. Please don't just say to stock it with only one bait. Thanks!
  10. I've heard Slither K's are pretty good, they sell them on Tackle Warehouse?
  11. Livetarget mice are pretty good too, probably my close second
  12. Hey all, I was wondering what everybody's favorite frogs are to use. Mine are: Hollow-Belly: Livetarget frogs Soft: Stanley Ribbit Frog Hard: Livetarget Popper
  13. Yeah, it's pretty much the only type of bass fishing I do Carolina rigs are pretty fun too, though
  14. Hey all, I was wondering if I could get some information on a small kit for building topwater hard baits, mostly frog imitators. I have a workshop with plenty of space for materials and tools, so I already have a space to work. Any recommendations on how to build poppers, prop baits, walking baits, etc would be GREAT. Thanks! P.S. ~ You may see my almost identical question, except it is for pouring soft frogs
  15. Hey all, I was wondering if anybody could recommend a small kit for soft-plastic pouring. I almost exclusively fish with frogs, so any frog molds you could recommend would be nice too. Thanks!
  16. Yeah, I almost never take this whole thing with me! Jesus, that'd be a lot... Usually, I'll take some super glue and a few other things that I can fit in the pocket of my cargo shorts on the water. The rest stays in my workshop. Thanks to Sam and basseditor for some new ideas!
  17. Hey all, I was wondering if anybody had any special mods that they did to their frogs? I have a Plano two-tray filled with tools and tackle just for modding my frogs. My kit includes: A ruler that goes down to the 1/64th of an inch - for precise measurements when reshaping hooks or trimming skirts Strong needle-nose pliers - for reshaping hooks Sharp scissors - for trimming skirts Worm rattles - these are used when the frog needs to be louder Paper clips - I like to poke small holes right above the legs of my frogs to help drain water Bic lighter - I use this to heat the paper clips (above) to make it go in easier Spike It Color Markers - for when my frogs need a little bit more scent Lake Fork Frog Trailer Hooks - these are just for when I'm getting short strikes, but I don't want to trim down the skirts Split shot assortment - this is for emergency situations (I have only used it once or twice in three years) when the weight falls out the back of the frog Super glue - for repairing holes, tears, and replacing weights Lead fly-tying wire - this is for when I need a silent presentation, but still want some weight - I'll just wrap it around the hook a dozen times or so Green, purple, white, chartreuse, black, and brown jig skirts - these are my preferred skirt colors for replacing legs BBs - I keep some BBs (like the ones in BB guns) for when I need my frog to basically sit vertically in the water - I will just use these in place of rattles sometimes too Sharpies - I keep at least a dozen different-colored sharpies to mark my frogs whenever they need a cooler color scheme Spare hollow-belly frogs - I keep the frogs that people want me to modify, the frogs that I want to modify, or the frogs that are really beat up in this box, so I don't forget to work on them Leatherman multi-tool - 'nuff said Sewing needles - these don't really come into play too much, but I occasionally use them when replacing skirts Lots of crane swivels - these are used when replacing double hooks Lots of double hooks - a lot of times, hooks in old frogs will rust out or break - that's when these come into play Last but not least, my big ol' Snag Proof sticker - kind of just there to remind me of my first frog I modded So my question to you is - how do you mod your frogs?
