jump frogs

[Jon P.]

what are your thoughts on jump frog type lures like these? unlike most topwaters they have heavy bodies with a slow sink rate so that they can plow through cover better than their soft bodied counterparts. they look like a buzzbait on the surface, spitting water everywhere. the mouths on them are flat, instead of cupped like a popper so they can "jump" out of the water a little bit when snapped hard enough. 

they originally created in Thailand by guys who were tired of having their soft buzz frogs chewed to death by  snakehead. recently I purchased a few from MegaFrox USA and they have been producing very well. wherever I would ordinarily fish a buzz toad or weedless frog  I've been using these and they've been producing pretty well!

I bought some of those from taiwan, but they only bounce off the ice right now.

too bad there's no such thing as topwater ice fishing ?

Those look sweet! I might have to pick some up. Did you order them straight through MegaFrox USA?

They look like they might work well for the bullseye snakehead we have down here.

they're originally intended for snakehead in Thailand, but they're pretty solid for bass, as well
