Anyone fished this new bait from Zoom? The inside scoop is that it's the
hottest thing out there right now, in fact that's what Mr Rojas' "Kermit"
actually was in the Classic.

Just ordered me some...

I thought these were around for a while. I saw some in the tackle shop up
here(at least I( think that was them), they didn't seem new. I'll have to
look again

Warren, the kid uses em, but he modifys them..bends the trailers out at
a 90 degree angle (gives the lure a side to side motion), then rigs two
trailer hooks through the inside and out the back legs...kind of a
complicated proccess, using a needle and a special tag line that is
tucked back inside, but very effective on his lakes! I'm not sure I
should be saying this :)! He showed a few of the "eastern" pros this
trick at a show out west...maybe Rojas was paying attention :).

I have been playing with them some. Great topwater action when reeled steady
like a buzz bait, can be twitched just under the surface like a Fluke and can
be fished other ways too. The legs are made like Zoom's cut tail Speed worms
and really move when reeled fast. (A few weeks ago I asked Alwaysfishking if he
had tried them since he likes the Speed Worm so much - at least I think it was
him.) The bass in my pond like them.

The frog shown on ESPN that Rojas was using was a Sumo frog - had hair or
rubber band legs, nothing like the Horny Toad with paddle tail legs..

=======
Yes Warren, they are attached to the main hook, then run out the back
legs with about 3 inches of line, that line is then tucked back inside
along with the shank of the hook. I know I'm not expaining it very
well...the kid showed me how to do it, but I havn't done one yet myself.

Yup that was me Rich, I just got some today and they look awesome in the
water. You need to work them to keep them up if using a heavy hook. I like
the way they swim with the jerk and pause. They cast a mile and there is no
need to skin tuck them, the hook rides nicely in the slot on the back. Can't
wait to use them(other than at the ramp for ten minutes in the cold) :-)

frogs, frogs and still more frogs"

Hello everyone, I have been thinking of frog lures all summer. I did
see day three of the classic and seen the clip of Dean Rojas skipping
the frog under the trees...

that day We had several calls from Delta Pros telling me that they
wanted in a frog and questioned as to why were my other frogs no
longer available to the public.

I responded and said that I wanted a perfect frog for all frog fishing
conditions and have yet to release it. it must have good
manufacturablity and must be repeatable with detail

the result was a hand poured frog that can be fished on top of the
moss weedless, fished as a soft jerk bait under the surface with legs
that kick and wiggle, multi colored and with 3D molded eyes etc.

a few of You have seen the older designs...

this new design punked any other frog I have ever created or any frog
out there

just waiting for the 4mm 3d eyes to get here.

We will in our booth at the EXPO this month 27th, 28th and 29th and te
civic center plaza here in Phoenix. we will demo the frog in the Big
Bass tank.


thanks,

gil
