Super User A-Jay Posted June 12, 2018 Super User Posted June 12, 2018 Anyone having success with this one ? I'm curious if the "Frog Fur" is everything they say it is . . . Sort of looks like velcro - which is actually a pretty good idea and kind of funny. A-Jay 2 Quote

According to a review by Walker Smith on another well known fishing website: "The Frogfur is designed to snag on the sandpaper-like teeth of a bass, which gives you just a little more time to execute a powerful hookset. When their teeth become tangled in this stuff, it makes it incredibly difficult for the bass to throw this bait or miss it on the initial strike." A-Jay 1 Quote
MichaelCopeland Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 Haven't heard of this frog. Are they available in stores or just online? If in stores, which ones? Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted June 13, 2018 Global Moderator Posted June 13, 2018 Seems like while it might hang in a fish's teeth to give you more time to set the hook, it could also make setting the hook more difficult. Well set Velcro is hard to move. Quote
nighthawk25 Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 I bought 2 from TW. I tested one a few weeks ago and it seems to walk good. The water was still too cold and I haven't got a chance to use them since. Quote
SBFISHING Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 iv read that it has internal rattles already is that true? Quote

Super User tcbass Posted June 13, 2018 Super User Posted June 13, 2018 I lost a lot of fish to hollow body frogs and caught a few. When I started using my own homemade Teckel Sprinker frogs my hook-up ratio went up to almost like 98% and no more waiting to set the hook. You get a bite, set the hook! And I use the same hollow body frogs I always did. So far Booyah Pad Crashers have worked the best. Quote
keagbassr Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 my thought would be that if your frog is deep enough in the fishes mouth for that to be effective you should be able to hook them regardless of fur or not. 1 Quote
Super User burrows Posted June 13, 2018 Super User Posted June 13, 2018 Trey harpel did a decent review on this frog Quote
HeyCoach Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 How have these been working for y’all that have one? I bought two, one regular and one of their new popping frogs but I’ve not been out fishing yet. Quote
YoTone Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 Ive thought about gluing some velcro on a frog. looks like the same material to me. Quote

I bought a few and fished them late last summer. Quite possibly the easiest and best walking frog I've found. As for hook ups, my ratio does seem significantly better than other frogs. Because of all of that, I bought myself quite a few more over the winter. I can't wait until it's time to throw them again. Quote
Super User NorthernBasser Posted April 16, 2019 Super User Posted April 16, 2019 This reminds me of the old Culprit worms that had a strip of velcro on them. Does it work? Who knows? I'm sure you will catch fish on them, but it that because of the velcro patch? Seems gimmicky to me, but what do I know? https://newsok.com/article/2278038/bass-just-cant-let-go-of-this-worm Quote

GrumpyOlPhartte Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 Mebbe we should start a new thread debating which side of the Velcro has superior fish-snagging abilities. ? 1 Quote

Well, for MLF you’re catching a lot of males so the female Velcro will work better. For FLW and BASS you’d catch the big mamas with male Velcro. ? 1 Quote

scbassin Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 That is a fur hat to keep the frogs head warm in cold water. Quote
