kickingfrog Posted July 10, 2015 Report Posted July 10, 2015 Two trips, one post. Fair amount of hits and we even got the hooks into a few. Despite years of tips, my brother doesn't take the best photos even with his own camera. Ryan had some hits on his topwater but couldn't get the hooks into one. Lots of panfish though. Saw lots of gar as well but they didn't seem to be too interested in rubber frogs.
MCTFisher9120 Posted July 11, 2015 Report Posted July 11, 2015 Nice fish, frogging is a blast takes patience so not everybody throws them usually bass jump on them when the conditions are right. Thanks for sharing!
kickingfrog Posted July 11, 2015 Author Report Posted July 11, 2015 I think I'm going to start a thread on slop frogs and their lack of durability.
Rod Caster Posted July 11, 2015 Report Posted July 11, 2015 Sloppy! I love blasting buzzbaits over slop like that.
MJL Posted July 11, 2015 Report Posted July 11, 2015 That's what it's all about! Great pics and fish!
MCTFisher9120 Posted July 11, 2015 Report Posted July 11, 2015 I think I'm going to start a thread on slop frogs and their lack of durability. What frog are you using? I've thrown the Snag Proof Bleedin' Frog for 6 or 7 summers now and they are very durable. The paint on the back will start to crack up after 6 or 7 good fish, hooks will dull a little but I keep a sharpener in my pocket. Every fish I give the frog a quick 5 second sharpen to keep things "sticky". Very curious what frog your throwing, never had a problem with the skirt strains falling out either. Might need to pull them a 1/2" to one side or the other once in a while but never lost any.

Might need to pull them a 1/2" to one side or the other once in a while but never lost any. All of them, at least the expensive ones. The rubber skirt type (spro and others) pulled right out after a few fish. I switched to the very lifelike rubber frogs (koppers, lunkerhunt and a 3rd that I forget). They were worse. The one lasted one fish that nipped at the legs and pulled both off. The others didn't last one day of fishing. I expect more for 10 plus bucks per lure. This last trip I used a top toad. The main reason I bought it was because 2 came in the package and it was a quarter the price. It's not a lifelike but it lasted the whole day and still has both legs. My kids have rubber lizards that don't cost nearly what we pay for lures and they can't pull those legs off no matter how hard they try.
