Hi all,

I ordered a couple of new hollow-body frogs from river2sea, the 45,55, and 65 sizes. I figured there is a lack in the market of 'finesse' type frogs and wanted to give them a try. The waters I fish don't have many hogs in them, the smaller fish are pretty reluctant at times to hit the larger frogs like the Koppers that I've been using. And when they do hit it's mostly innacurate, the bait never goes underwater. There was a big frog hatch recently and most of the frogs I've been seeing jump off the banks are no more than an inch and a half long. So any one have experience using these smaller hollow-body frogs? Thanks.

no experience but i think you're on to something noticing the frog hatch and thinking "downsize". i wouldn't change a thing as far as retrieve and set up. check out these cool little buggers

I'm not gonna lie..I'm looking forward to getting my hands on a few of those by next year.

Thanks for the reply! I actually saw that on TT right after I posted this. It looks wicked. I know Koppers just debuted a mini version at icast as well. I'm getting my hands on the R2S Baby Bully soon I'll see how it runs. The only concern I have is that these babies are not going to go as far and the action might be limited by the weight.

Got my baby bully today (45) size. That thing was small. It casts pretty well for a 1/5 oz bait, at about 70% the distance of a full size frog, but I just couldn't work it as well. I can see its use but it wasn't able to attract as much attention since it threw so little water. I switched up to the 55 size and it was like magic, got 5 hits and 2 fish. I think I'll be sticking with the 55s for now.
