splashhopper Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 The owner of the local fishing shop suggested I try Top-water for bass.... earlier this year... and with the support and encouragement from the OFC board here... I am officially obsessed with it.. Here are some pics of my larger top water frog fishing results ( all are Scum Frogs) caught on 30lb Power Pro braided line. ( in no particular order) and.... last but not least..... my PB 23" smallie caught in the weeds on a top water scum frog... Geee.. .I wonder if SCUM FROG .... is tracking the FREE ADVERTISING I am giving them and will send me a case of these ? I am heading out tomorrow morning... rain or no rain... I AM going dammit!.... lol Splashhopper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radnine Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Patience eh? You have to wait before setting the hook. How did you train yourself not to yank it too early? Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singingdog Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 You're a more patient man than I....topwater frogs are the most frustrating lures I have ever used. No matter how long I wait, the hookup/hit ratio is the lowest of anything I have ever tried. Sounds like you are having fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter how long I wait, the hookup/hit ratio is the lowest of anything I have ever tried. Sounds like you are having fun. I am also learning how to use Senko's ( rigged weedless) right now.... I seem to have the same "miss-ratio" on them as well... I think it has more to do with me fishing on top of the slop and pads though.... When I use poppers or jitter-bugs on open water... the hook up ratio is a LOT better. What else can I use on top of the slop ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
