bass109 Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Furbit the Frog, did anyone try out this color frog lure? Never seen this kind of frog lure. Quote
Super User T-rig Posted January 17, 2007 Super User Posted January 17, 2007 I guess it's just like any topwater frog but with a blade on it. I never tried it but it looks like it should work due to additonal stir the blade makes. I might just get one or........!!!!! Quote
Valascus Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 No, thanks I'll stick with my SPRO Bronzeye frogs. I think those fur legs and the extra little spinner on it will make the lure more snaggy and harder to bring over and through cover. Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted January 17, 2007 Super User Posted January 17, 2007 No, thanks I'll stick with my SPRO Bronzeye frogs. I think those fur legs and the extra little spinner on it will make the lure more snaggy and harder to bring over and through cover. I agree...I think that the point is to have a slop bait that doesnt catch the slop. Open water w/ submerged weeds, I think this may be a decent bait. I have used hare strips while tying flies and they do have AWESOME action. Wayne Quote
bocabasser Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 what "real frog" have you ever seen that has a spinner hanging out of its ***? i am with valascus, i will stick with my swamp donkey, and spro frogs. Quote
Super User T-rig Posted January 17, 2007 Super User Posted January 17, 2007 What "real fish" have you ever seen with a prop on it's tail? The point is, you just have to try different things and it might work! Quote
Super User Dan: Posted January 17, 2007 Super User Posted January 17, 2007 a seller tried to get me to buy one of those at the Maryland Fishing Expo last weekend. I told him I didn't really throw frogs too much, which is true, but I also declined because it was really expensive and I thought the spinning blade would get tangled. Who knows though, it could work... Quote
Hawgin Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 I like the idea of the hair legs for a little extra action, but that spinner blade has to go. Quote
Valascus Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Now, while I have already said that I don't like the overall design for what MOST people use frogs for (lots of weeds, muck, crawling over laydowns and stumps), Speedbead is right about it having potential as an open water bait or over submerged grasses. But then again the SPRO BronzEye is just as good in open water or over the same submerged grasses. I like a "chugging" or "popping" retrieve for my BronzEyes. Sometimes I will use a "walk the dog" retrieve, but I am not very good at walkin' the dog with the BronzEye yet...some days I got it..others I don't. Quote
CrazedL.IFisherman Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 Its definitely interesting but seems a little over the top for my taste, a regular frog can get the job done fine id think, even though i spend like a mad man on many lures, im trying to stay away from the higher priced ones as much as possible, i think i saw these going for 9 bucks which ill definitely pass Quote
