Matzuo Nano Kroaker Frog

[crazyjoeclemens]

I know what most of y'all think about cheap lures, but I found a couple of these babies in the bottom of a bargain bin at a local farm store and thought, "Why not?"  So, I stopped at a local forest preserve pond on the way home and started casting one in natural frog colors.  The very first cast, a bass took it - almost the moment it landed.  I was so surprised, that I completely missed the strike and failed to hook up.  After that, all I got was passive interest - a few occasional swirls of fish checking it out and moving on.  I switched up to the black one and same deal - got a hit on the first cast.  I wasn't gonna be fooled this time, so I went to set the hook like I was tryin to chop some lumber - except it was a short strike and that little frog came out of the water like a ballistic missile fired from a submarine.  After that, only passive interest as before.

 

Has anyone else tried the Nano Kroakers?  If so, how did you fare?

I've used them in a private pond.. Caught lots of fish.. But they didn't last long. Got beat up to the point that they filled up with water too fast.
