VABasser Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 I was watching some random fishing videos on youtube and came across this one about fishing frogs. The first bit is all basic info but right around 1:30 it brings up a technique of how to add more weight to the frog in order for it to ride lower in the water. Thus creating more disturbance. Seems worthy of trying but I've never heard anyone talk about it. Anybody do this? Quote
DINK WHISPERER Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 That's the first thing i do to my frogs after opening them. I either use soldering wire around the hook shank or split shot weights in the belly. Also, i like to throw in some worm rattles for really thick mats. Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted April 28, 2009 Super User Posted April 28, 2009 They seem to sink worse if I add weight on them. Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted April 28, 2009 Super User Posted April 28, 2009 When I fish matted grass, I remove the legs and put a 1/16 oz worm weight in each leg hole and add a nose rattle for sound. I don't like inserting anything into the frog body that will reduce the compression of the body and limit hookups. Quote

Yeah that is what that video suggested, soldering wire. Seems like the best bet because it wouldn't interfere with hookups like Wayne pointed out. I think I'll have to give it a try this summer Quote
