Bass XL Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 I get more hits on the Jr. then the normal one, but both are outstanding baits. Quote
thatoneguy Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 Ive had both and ive got a lot more fish on the junior. its littler and more fish bite on it i think. instead of it being big and intimidating. btw i dont have any weights on the junior and can still cast it a mile. Quote
Certified Public Angler Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 I own the jr. have caught some decent fish on it. I agree with the poster above, i didn't add any weight and it will sail. Quote
flyhatch Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 i just got one and tried it in erie bay on sunday. I couldnt get the thing to walk the dog, I cut about an inch off the legs because i read that doing so would make walking the dog easier. I can walk the dog very well with other baits i was using braided line and a 7 foot heavy action rod. any tips would be appreciated oh and i didnt get any blowups either but there wasnt much of a topwater bite sunday anyway Quote

Cut them from the inside. This is what I did with my Bobby's Perfect Frog since I couldn't get it to walk properly. Quote
Pigsticker Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 ugh another frog thread they all catch fish with mostly solid fish and bigger and work very well in the summer thats all needed for a sticky right bass finatic ;D Quote

They are longer and nose weighted. Quote
NEBassMan Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Cut the strands of one leg about 1/2" shorter than the other. Will help it walk the dog nicely. Oh, and i only throw the big one. No Jr's here. Jason Quote
mike bat Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 i dont like the jr ... i have 3 problems with the jr .... weight its too lite ,,, for some reason the jr takes water on ,,, and i prefer to catch big bass the jr tends to catch some small bass ... this is just IMO ,, of coarse ... but i buy the regular spro every time ... as for walking the frog .... dont cut legs ,,and the spro is great at walking ... take your time and you will get it ... remember you are useing braid and heavy braid ( you should be ) .. make sure that frog has ample slack in the line before you start snapping away ... remember with mono there is some stretch so fishing a spook with mono will be forgiving ,,, with the braid however you really have to make sure you have a slack line befor you start your presentation stick with it you will get it ... ;D Quote
