Small frogs.

[jr231]

I'm looking for some different brands that offer a small frog similar to the LH pocket frog. If anyone is familiar with this frog and knows another company that makes one in a similar size, that's what I'm looking for !

VOK make some small frogs i think it's 1/4oz and called the samurai frog

Japan has a ton of small frogs. Booyah, matzuo, livetarget all make 1/4oz frogs

If you have an Academy store they have little frogs that work great.  SPRO and Booyah also have 2 and 2.5" frogs.

Ima and Kahara make smaller frogs also. I have no expirience with them but they caught my eye

[bigfruits]

the baby kahara is smaller than the pad crasher jr. both weigh 1/4oz. ive never fished the pocket frog but i can recommend those two.

Snag Proof Original Frog. The very one in my avatar. It caught a previous PB for me. They make a model that's light (supposedly about 1/4 oz. for spinning gear-I'd say less) and another 1/2 oz. that's for BC gear. I caught that old big mama on the lighter one using BC gear one steamy July evening about 14 years ago. I still have that very frog and it still catches fish.

I'm a huge fan of the pad crasher junior, it was the second (might have been third) highest producing lure for me last year.

Liverarget makes really small ones and spro makes some compact ones as well , not familiar with the one you mentioned as a reference

ah - the lunker frog has realistic legs. i think Yeajray231 is looking for something without the traditional legs.

 

how do you like the LH frogs, Yeajray231? when do you use those over traditional?

[jr231]

@bigfruits the ones I'm talking about are very small (compared to the average frog ) their legs are life like , not the skirt material. I wouldn't be opposed to using the skirts for legs! I'm interested in frogs of this size ! The ones with skirt material are much easier to walk IMO. So there are ups and downs . I like the compact profile the realistic legs have when at a rest. 

 

The LH (pocket frogs)  are perfect really. I just bend the hooks out a little bit and I can use them on spinning gear. The only time I use them is when I bank fish in the summer. they don't spook the whole section of the pond on one go and i end up catching some healthy numbers with them usually. Kind of steep at 7 bucks though... 

 

I actually have a couple with skirt material legs because the first strike ripped a leg off of one. I was just seeing if anyone else used small frogs and what their brand preference was.. 

 

The thread mastr baiter posted was pretty good.

If you're interested in a popper, the hula popper is my favorite. The first frog type bait I ever used actually.

I straight up rip the legs right off and put skirt legs on now.  The bigger frogs (lunker frog and combat frog) I leave the legs on until a fish rips em off, but on the 1/4 oz frog they're GARBAGE and do more the prevent hookups than facilitate them.
