angler1 Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 I have never fished a hollow body frog before. I have purchased some spro frogs and was wondering if someone could give me a breakdown on how to fish them. Thanks. Quote
fishinghunter96 Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 The best areas to fish them are in Lilly pads and top water vegetation. And when the water is a bit warmer. Use a 7 foot heavy action rod and 50 lb braid. Although you can fish them any time with any thing I caught my first top water fish of the season yesterday on a hallow body frog doing across pads with my 6`8" medium heavy in 65 degree water so you don't have to stick to these guide lines. Just give them little hoops across the top of the water and slow down more when you are in a hot sPot. Wait a good 3 seconds to set the Hook when a fish explodes our just wait until you can feel the weight of the fish on your line. Make sure you have a good hook set because those are big hooks. And if the the bass misses it be sure to remain calm and just keep the same hoping pattern you had going. Hope all this helps. Quote

tbone1993 Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 Ignore the heavy action rod bit, you can get away with a 7 ft 3 med heavy that will work the bait better and have a solid hookup. If you are not sure how to use the spro baits I can test them out for you . Seriously though tie those spro baits on with a berkley knot and you will never lose them. Skip them into the back of trees and brush piles and you will catch some lunkers. Look up dean rojas frog fishing and watch how he does it. Quote
hatrix Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 On how to actually work a frog you want to start with slack before you twitch it and end with slack in your line. Its just like how you fish a jerk bait. You get a rythem with a frog and it will walk side to side. You can find videos of this I am sure to better show you how. Quote
Super User bigbill Posted May 6, 2013 Super User Posted May 6, 2013 We were throwing live small frogs into a man made bass pond. i notice the frog would freeze and free fall slowly then all of a sudden the bass would appear from nowhere and eat it. I figure letting it sit and pause like said ve will work too. I never fished frogs before too and i have all sizes of the bogbait frogs too. Quote
ynnhoj86 Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 Frogs are killing out here in Arizona. Caught these last week on a spro. I would twitch twitch and let it sit for 3 seconds and wham they hit it. Oh and these too on another trip. All on my camo color spro frog. Quote
