Trimming Frogs

[boostr]

Do any of you trim the "legs" on the Booyah Pad Crasher? If you do how much do you trim off?

I don't own a PadCrasher, but I trim the legs on all my hollow body frogs.  I want the legs to swing back when I pull on the lure and stick out to the side when it's paused.  I find that I don't get many misses, even in heavy cover with the legs trimmed in this manner. The only way to know that is to tie one on and work it. Don't trim too much at any one time, unless it's a BPS Kermie.

I watched a vid where the guy laid the legs over the body of the frog to the front of the frogs head, whatever was overhanging the frogs head he cut off. It might have been KVD, I'm not sure. Either way, it was a well-known tournament angler.

^ that's what I did with a few of my frogs with skirts

I trim as I've seen bass grab all legs before...I take about 25% off

That sounds like an idea. I might try this.

I trim one side of the legs about 3/4 of an inch shorter too which helps in a walk the dog presentation or I can just bob like normal.

[BassinLou]

I just trim about an inch off.

Depends on the size of the body.  Usually trim off about 1/3 of it, but it's all about a good body/leg length ratio so I just kind of eye it.  They're all different.
