Pondboss16 Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 I like to trim regular frogs to help them walk would I do the same to poppin frogs (booyah poppin pad crasher) Quote
alzun664 Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Popping style frogs don't walk as well as the keel shaped ones because of their overall shape. So if your only reason for trimming the legs is to help them walk, I wouldn't bother with it on the pad crasher. Quote
Super User gulfcaptain Posted February 1, 2016 Super User Posted February 1, 2016 Try Snag Proofs Ish's Poppin Phat Frog, Both styles of his frog are easy to walk, no trimming needed. Quote
Brayberry Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 I trim the legs of my frogs. It gives the legs more action, easier to walk, and just looks better Quote
FloridaFishinFool Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Denny Brauer says trim them to about one inch or so. But I would experiment cutting a little at a time on the way down... Quote
Super User gardnerjigman Posted February 2, 2016 Super User Posted February 2, 2016 Yes. I trim my poppin pad crashers legs down to about an inch. They walk perfect. I trim all my frogs like to get them to walk tighter and keep sunfish from jacking with the legs. Wore largie out on the Cricket poppin pad crasher last year. 1 Quote
lecisnith Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 I trim all frog legs, popping or otherwise. I'm not sure of the effect it has on action, because I haven't noticed much difference, but I really feel like it changes the fish's strike zone if the legs are shorter. I have had far fewer short strikes after I started trimming than I did before. 1 Quote
bassguytom Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 I make walkers to help frogs with trimmed legs walk. You'd be surprised at how many frogs there are with trimmed legs that need my service. 1 Quote
Airman4754 Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 For my poppers I just turn the legs up and trim them even with the top of the head. For those the less you have for them to aim at that isn't the main body the better. For walkers I trim one leg a half inch down. It makes them walk so much easier. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted February 2, 2016 Global Moderator Posted February 2, 2016 I don't trim mine, I like the larger profile of the full legs. I trim them (or cut them all the way off), on the regular frogs though. Quote
Super User the reel ess Posted February 2, 2016 Super User Posted February 2, 2016 Most people I've seen using them on TV and YouTube have them trimmed so far they don't really look "froggy" anymore. Quote
Scarborough817 Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 I don't normally trim mine though I am considering trimming the jackal iobee since they are so much longer than the actual frog Also has anyone fished the spro king daddy? I picked up 6 new frogs last weekend Quote
