Killer Frog

Bob, The 3/0 from Owner was much too small. I would definately go with a 4/0
regardless of manufacturer.

Its actually mostly eyeballs up. The tip of the nose was just a hair
under. The legs looked good, but they didn't hang way down. They
were just under the surface so they can kick up a bit of commotion
when its retrieved.

Basically its a slow distrubance bait similar to a Horny toad, but
because it has flat paddle feet the legs will move more with less
movement, and because its a floater it can be retrieved slow or
fast.

I hate to admit this but I have never used a frog.

Frogs can very exciting to fish... and sometimes very frustrating.


Could you or Randy post a photo of this with the hook in it, so I can
see how it is rigged over at alt.binaries.pictures.fishing

I don't have any of the perfect hooks for this frog yet, but basically
a wide gap copper head (hitchhiker) in 2/0 or 3/0 depending on the
manufacturer.


I would guess this would be very effective fishing the pads ? does it
have other locations it would be effective ?

Yes and yes. Basically anyplace you fish topwater it could be
effective.

On the retrieve, would very short little jerks be most effective, or
just a slow retrieve ?

Its a bait that can be fished stop and go. Long pause, continuous
slow or continuous fast. Really topwater is one of those areas where
the fish really do tell you what they want.
