  3. hold the frog with nose pointing to the floor and grab the skirts and bring them down to the nose of the frog while pulling on them to keep tension cut them even with the nose tip.
  4. cooper tire is recalling light truck tires due to blowouts. Watch the video to learn if your tires are on the list.
  5. i use the berkley 130 el choppo version and caught bass and pike when nothing else worked.
  6. growing up i never wanted to touch frogs because i was told they give you warts. Maybe an old wives tale?
  7. goodyear just bought out cooper tire for 2.8 billion
  8. took a 55 gallon extra tough leaf bag and cut out holes for my arms and head and wore a straw hat because i was to cheap to buy good gear. The straw hat ended up weighing 5 lbs and my body got wet from the arm slots and neck. I then went and bought frog toggs 2 piece rain suit and stood out in the pouring rain and my body didnt get wet or cold cause the minnesota rain in summer can come and cool everything way down with a wind behind it. The negatives were my shoes got soaked duhhh and the hood that it comes with made of same material makes it hard to fish because it feels like a paper sack on your head and ya cant see as it engulfs your head and eyes.
  9. what would you guys in gator country do if a gator actually got ahold of your leg and pulled you in, how would you fight it off to survive?

  17. my wife picks out her own lures and even paid for 2 of them she lost last year.
  18. i use chest waders, was interested in the comfort of a tube, can you tell me about its good points and bad such as comfort and mobility? Thank you.
  19. what did the bass have to say?
  20. fleetfarm has tons of berkley max scent soft baits from last year selling for $1.74 a pack regular $6.99.
  21. pad crasher is all i buy. I use the regular one and then started to use the popper version and never went back to the regular frog no matter how heavy the cover. I use a solid black, translucent black, and green top white bottom frog. I take a white or black marker and put spots on the bottoms and put a few small glass beads inside the bodies for rattles. Fish really only see the bottom of the frog so the top colors dont matter to me just the bottoms. Then i cut an inch off of the tails, bend the hooks away from the body which requires a small vicegrip because i pull them a good ways away from the frog body. Look at my frogs and see that i pull the hook an 1/8 inch away from body, i started doing this after many missed hits, i wait a couple seconds after the hit and then set the hook and i feel my hookups has greatly improved. It goes through cover great with the hooks out and very rarely do i get a little piece of something caught on the hook.
  22. never thought of hooking it like that but will do so come spring. I hide this color of worm from my wife, i keep the pack tucked away in my pocket or bank bag. Its the only secret i keep from her.
  23. i have thrown a hollow frog in this situation with no weeds around and caught fish.
  24. same here
