GoneFishi'n Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 Do you guys think a soft body frog on a buzz bait with the skirt off would be any good? It would keep it going straight I would think. Has anyone tried it? If so did you have any luck? Quote
North Ga Hillbilly Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 Ive done just that and it has worked really well at times NGaHB Quote
GoneFishi'n Posted September 5, 2012 Author Posted September 5, 2012 Because I have a strike king buzz bait that I got for $1 at walmart so I figured why not try it. Do the legs from the frog get tangled on anything? Also if you see something jump at it do you wait to set the hook like a regular frog or do you just set the hook right when it hits it? Quote
Jay Ell Gee Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 The added weight of the soft plastic frog will sink your buzz bait faster, so you will have to reel faster to compensate. You can always add a trailer hook to assist with hookups. Something else that works well on a buzzbaits is a big paddle tail or LF magic shad swimbait. Quote
Super User iabass8 Posted September 5, 2012 Super User Posted September 5, 2012 soft plastic frogs work better as a swimbait trailer than on a buzzbait. Quote
RyneB Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 One outing i was having trouble catching fish. I was just messing around and attached a frog on a buzzbait. Nothing. Then i attached a 4 inch swimbait to the buzzbait it caught fish. I dont do much buzzbaiting anymore, but ill try that swimbait/buzzbait combo every once in awhile. Quote
jack51 Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 Why not use a four inch twin tail grub,,,less weight and still a bunch of action,, Quote
