You can cut small peices of soft plastic worm and stick them in the hole. Just be carefull not the tear the hole and don't put so much in their that the frog sinks.

Try a couple of steel shot from a shotgun shell. They will gove you weight and a rattle.

I wasn't aware there was a 1 ounce weight in this bait. It only weighs 5/8 oz. Did you add weight? I sometimes add BB's for weight and a little noise and you can seal the hole with RTV silicone or superglue in gel form.

come on guys ... why do you want to seal the hole ???? use bbs do not seal the hole with anything ... the hooks shaft will keep the bbs in the frog ... if you seal the hole one of 2 things will happen ... the frog will not compress during a bite ,,, this means you will not get as many solid hook ups .... or 2 the air will be forced through the nose ... if this happens the frog will take water on ... that nose needs to be sealed to the line tie .... so if you need weight add bbs or glass beads ,,, i like glass beads ... get a bead that you will need to force through the hole where the hooks come outta the frog on the bottom ... no need to seal the bottom hole ...  :D

Agree. I use slender glass worm rattles. You have to keep the hole open or air will get trapped inside and the body won't compress. Now if the body starts to rip then seal it. Soft bait glue and super clue will work but not that well if a fish rips it.

Easy solution: get some Mojo weights and insert them one into each of the leg strands. Lubricate them with water so they will slip thru the rubber leg material, then put a drop of super glue on the weight so it will help hold the lead in place. Squeeze the weight a little to close up the hole. I do that with the Bobby's Perfect frog to add weight for mat fishing. You can vary the total weight with your Mojo weight selection.

I dont' put anything inside the hollow frog bodies so it won't interfere with the body compression when a bass takes it. If you need rattles, use the ones in the picture:
