Frog Tip

[tbone1993]

Yesterday I had an older tournament /B.A.S.S. guy tell me to stuff my frogs with rubber worms. find the right ratio to keep them afloat but also cast further. I never thought of doing this but it may help someone who isnt getting enough distance with their frogs.

Sounds to me like he is sending you on a wild goose chase. Stuffing a hollow body frog with anything will impede hook-ups.

[Grizzn N Bassin]

Hmmm? Like he said the hook up will be crappy

[BrettD]

I've heard of people putting split shots in them to do the same thing yet still allow the bait to compress when the fish strikes it.

Sounds like a mechanical issue to be if you cannot get distance on a hollow body frog. Those things fly a country mile.

[ripinthem]

Yeah, if you can't get those things to throw a mile, its your reel/line/rod...I've heard people use rattles, but I would never put anything that wouldn't let it collapse right...

[Grizzn N Bassin]

I put some rattles in 1 frog.. but 2 rattles won't hurt the compressing off the frog stuffing the frogs with worms will

deff. error if you arent hurdling the frogs a mile, I can even get those tiny frogs to zoom for me. NOW  my first frog rod was a literally a XH broomstick, no joke it truely felt like i had line tied to a  broom handle.  I got somewhat far but not much. I now use a custom made HXF.  what is your setup

[Jrob78]

I wouldn't want my frog to sink either.

[Grizzn N Bassin]

I can cast mine very far.. I'm using a revo

I've seen this tip mentioned by pros in some magazine articles. Same for the rattles.  I don't have a problem with casting distance or hook-ups, so I leave well enough alone.

A better way to add weight is to push the body up the double hook shank and wrap lead wire around the hook. This will not impede the hook set and if I add a rattle I will also glue it now. I use a rear weighted frog when I walk the frog. The more nose up position makes walking easier for me.
