Big Stick Joe Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Hey Guys, I just brought my first ever frog, a SPRO Bronzeye pop. Here is my concern, I just open the package and filled my sink up and put the frog in there, within a min or two the back end started to sink. Is this normal? I thought these frogs were suppose to float? I had to squeeze the water out of the frog from where the hooks come out from the bottom. Again, this is my first frog so i'm alittle concern about this. Can someone please shed some light onto this? Thanks Joe Quote
Super User Gatorbassman Posted August 28, 2011 Super User Posted August 28, 2011 Starting to sink after a minute is not a huge concern. If you get one that starts to sink in a few seconds then there is a problem. Of the dozens of Bronzeye Frogs that I've had only one gave me problems with sinking. When it does I just fill the hole with some Mega Strike every 10 or 15 minutes and keep fishing. Quote
philsoreel Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 That's a great idea fluke thanks for that. X2 Great idea, Fluke. Quote
ChrisAW Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Yeah, they will collect water, but as long as it still sits at the surface, its fine. It will just cause more disturbance in the water with the back end hanging down. I will grab mine after a little while and hold it so that the hole where the hook comes out of is at the bottom, and then squeeze it a couple times to spit the water out. I'm sure it will produce for you, I know it has for me. Quote
Super User grimlin Posted August 28, 2011 Super User Posted August 28, 2011 spro popper has been and i'm sure always will be my best froggin bass producer... Try paycheck transporter frog and let me know if you still feel the same way. Quote
Big Stick Joe Posted August 29, 2011 Author Posted August 29, 2011 @Chris, nice fish and thanks for the advice. I figured that out today when i took it to the pond and after about 7 cast, i did the butt squeeze lol. @Fluke, thank you for the link. So anyway, i'm going to the pond tomorrow morning to really put the frog though its paces. If i catch anything i will post it. Thanks again Quote
