FROG FISHING BASICS

[@markloedding8238]

I have your Cashion frog rod and I love it.

[@JohnCrews]

That’s great. 👊🏼

[@DavidBronstein1961]

Mark, what else do you throw on that rod? Could it be used for punching and flipping? Hoping it can handle a few more types of baits to justify the $.

[@markloedding8238]

@@DavidBronstein1961 I’ve only used it for frogging but it would probably be good for any kind of flipping/jig/Texas rig up to 3/4oz. The tip is sensitive and you can really cast a frog well.

A few years ago I was fishing Loughborough Lake in Ontario. I was using a Spro frog in the slop. I saw a real frog sitting on a rock. I told my friend Bill watch this as I worked the Spro frog by the rock. WHOOSH Mr frog was love struck and pounced my frog. The rest is X rated so I will stop there. But he must have thought it was the real deal.

How do you keep the braid from backlashing, I am allways cutting it back off?

[@JohnCrews]

After setting the hook, you need a light cast to get the hook dig out

Do a basics video on small swimbaits. One thing I do with my frogs is play around with the colors of the legs. Great video!

[@JohnCrews]

Good idea! 👊🏼

[@ryanprellwitz8565]

grew up bombing a Snagproof frog on a medium action spinning rod. Finally got a frog rod after getting back into fishing last year and I get why i hardly ever hooked up when I was younger.

Best month or months to throw a frog/ Which frog would you throw May/June time frame?

[@rafabonati7757]

Everyone I have heard talk about frog baits says the various colors mimic shad, sunfish, or some other kind of struggling or feeding baitfish. I just wonder if bass just recognize them as FROGS. They eat frogs, so why not just say they mimic a live frog? The same can be said about plastic worms. Real worms find their way into water one way or another. A bird might drop one, and it will flutter and wiggle as it slowly sinks. Bass likely don’t recognize plastic worms as a fish, but as a WORM (or its relative leech). When I look at a D-Bomb or Baby D-Bomb, I think leech. I don’t think bluegill. What do you and others think? Rafa

[@JohnCrews]

I think bass are opportunistic feeders. Something looks injured, they might try and eat it

[@rafabonati7757]

@@JohnCrews - Thanks. That is exactly my point. Bass don’t just key in on fish (bluegill, shad, etc.), they key in on a variety of organisms that might make a meal. Everyone saying a white frog looks like a shad just doesn’t make complete sense, especially when so many bodies of water don’t have shad. Yet bass will destroy white frogs in those places.

[@robbiepatterson7834]

If in fishing small lakes and ponds not much heavy vegetation, do I need braided line or florocarbon? Thanks great video

[@JohnCrews]

Fluorocarbon

[@DavidBronstein1961]

Great vid! Beginner at frogging so not sure I am ready to invest $200+ on a frog rod. But that Cashion rod looks sweet. What else can it throw? Is it versatile or pretty much specialized just for frogs? I’ve had a lot of blowups with no hookups using a Medium baitcaster. Clearly underpowered.

[@edgarmelton8091]

If it’s matted I’ll use a frog if it’s open water popper all day way easier to hook a fish pop max best popper out there if you fish it fast and furious they will bite popping frog way better than a regular I’ve missed 2 monster bass this year on a scum frog white hart breaking should have had a pop Max can’t miss

[@TheMrSmith2011]

Why use a frog shaped bait to imitate other forage? The 3 primary colors mentioned were black, white or shad, and brim. Do you not use greens and browns that look like an actual frog?
