The top of the frog is to catch you the bottom is for the Bass..awesome video thanks

[@KrakenBass]

I love that😆

[@Balkanya]

I missed 4 on my new frog and seeing you adjust the hooks made it 100% accurate. I would be on for 2 seconds and the frog would pop right out and it didn’t make sense cause not to sound like a pro but i usually hook a fish very well. Thank you didn’t even come to my mind to adjust the hooks

[@KrakenBass]

Thanks man! Yeah hooks are a big deal.

[@colejfishingadventures]

Good stuff man!! Love it!

[@coletteproctor7316]

Should I start with thanks for the videos!

[@user-hc2nx6yr6b]

I try a high cast near shaded pads and near the shore. The frog then makes a louder splash, then I give it a couple quick jerks to mimic a frog jumping off a pad.

Utah is all about trout fishing Glad u found lakes with LMB

[@arthurdirindinjr1792]

Excellent advice on frog lure advice ESPECIALLY on only buying as soft of frogs as you can find I did that and combined with one other change it made a HUGE difference and improvement in my hookup success Also worth adding to your advice is know the quality of your bass fisheries I fish 3 different lakes for at least 90% of my largemouth bass fishing I am absolutely blessed that these three lakes all have VERY good numbers of bass between 2+ pounds and less than 5 lbs as in 90%+ of the bass I catch will be under 5lbs So it is an accurate statement to say these lakes I fish have very few bass in them over 5lbs accessible by shore fisherman like me and my sons These three lakes are all more shallow than deep All three of these lakes have heavy weeds and lilly pads as thier predominant structure that occupies over 80% of the lakes main bass holding habitat Absolutely perfect frog fishing habitat I been trying to master frog fishing for the last 4 years. After two years I was absolutely great at picking out spots in the lilly pads, reeds and weeds that held bass and learning the best conditions on my lakes to fish a frog 90% of the time I frog fish I get multiple bass blowing up on my frogs But my hookup ratio still was very poor at 50-55% In late June of last year I watched a frog fishing how to YT video and the guy suggested if your having trouble hooking up using a frog try using a smaller frog I thought DUH! I did exactly that I went to a frog that was about 5/8" to over an inch shorter than all the frogs I was using Also before I ever tried this new mini frog I compared it side by side to all my other frogs what shocked me most was the plastic this frog was made from was tissue paper thin and many times softer VS all my other frogs and this frog compressed many times easier than any of my other frogs Lucky my first time using this frog was textbook perfect frog fishing conditions In 4.5 hours of prime frog fishing conditions on my favorite frog fishing lake in my best frog fishing spot I got 14 bass to blowup on my frog hooked 12 got 10 in and released the ONLY thing I did different was change to a smaller significantly softer frog lure I fully understand if you're fishing a lake were bass up to 6lbs are common then by all means use a standard sized frog of 2.5-3" long But if like me 90% of the bass you fish for are under 5lbs using a smaller frog is absolutely worth trying Since going to a smaller MUCH softer frog my hookup success rose from 55% to 75% I can't honestly say it rose to 80% but 75% yes I can say that Now the over 90% of the blowups I fail to hookup on are due to my STILL setting the hook to fast What amazed me most about frog fishing is the degree of concentration and self control it demands if you wish to be consistently successful at fishing frogs. Great content if guys watching this fallow your advice they will ve more successful frog fisherman

[@KrakenBass]

Great story and excellent advice on the size of your frog. 🤙🏼

[@luthersagg9279]

i learn on all your vid ed bud. keep them rolling

[@timviering9559]

Great information 👍

[@pelagic5505]

Down here in florida i use frogs alot targeting the snakeheads but when i lived in ocala fl frogs were the key to many big bass and color was a key the blue gill pattern and a shad pattern i used to let my frogs sit in the sun for a few days to soften up body caught many 8lb bass on frogs while doging gators

[@OLC_Fishing]

I lost about 6 yesterday morning.. 😢 I was so frustrated! I am determined to master topwater frog 🐸. I LOL'D at your comment about "uglystick" thats what I'm using a 7' medium heavy 30lb braid. But no hookups.. ill look for a bait casting rod I have been avoiding em cause of the birds nest but ill give it a go I need to master a frog 🐸 thanks so much for all your tips

[@vernervanschalkwyk2280]

Stunning video!! I have been fishing my frogs WAY too slow!! I will try the loop knot for sure!! Would you fish a frog in cold water or not?

[@saounyang]

The new kiagra frog with the blade is amazing

[@KrakenBass]

Great tip. I'll like the other Keara, I'll have to try the one with the blade.

[@richardkeller6940]

Awesome video thanks Oh the big ones that come off haunt you for a couple days lol

[@4EverAwake]

Great tips, I have been struggling for a good hookup with my frogs I'm on my third different one thinking it was just the frog 🐸 but now I know a few extra ways I can attack it with this lure. Thanks again. Subbed 😁

[@KrakenBass]

Thanks man! 🤙🏼

[@eddiejones974]

Great Video good info thnx I am horrible with a frog just can't hook em" good tips to try when I go out again and iam using the wrong colors and frogs

[@MYNAMEISNUMBER2]

Thank you, I suck at setting the hook. I just missed 3 my booyah frog hooks gotta be bent up makes sense. BIG BITES ,I went to set the hook and it popped right out , they were hitting from underneath..

[@johnhanks7782]

How do you reel down after a blowup since walking the frog is with the rod tip down already?

[@coletteproctor7316]

Tried both color selector & 30 mi. Class. Couldn't get either to work?

[@jumanjiwarlord]

I’m on my third frog of the season…. They’ve been DESTROYING my frogs! Can’t beat that blowup.

[@Bandman_392]

New bass fisherman I’ve tried and tried to catch bass on frogs I never could get the hook set but I finally got my first 2 this week I boiled it don’t know if that actually helped or I just finally got the hook set right

[@joshuasweet1532]

Ive fell in love with the scum frog launch frog....great hookup ratio...very soft annd good hooks

[@KrakenBass]

Thanks for sharing. I've never tried one. They definitely have a good looking shape 🤙🏼

[@rodneychandler82]

Scum frogs for pressured bass . Works well . Soft plastic too .​@KrakenBass

[@crowe1974]

Boil your frogs to make it softer. It really helps if you have a stiff frog.

[@CA-sl2xw]

Who makes those sunglasses on your head? Thanks!

[@TysonEdwardsFishing]

Almost all pros slightly bend the hooks out or soak them in near boiling water to soften the plastic

[@rickvann3489]

FYI any plastic bait you deem to hard or stiff just boil said bait in water 5 seconds at a time until desired result.

[@mischievousfish151]

I make a copy of the iobee. Can I send you one for you to compare to the original? Also just so you know. The iobee frog has wire weight on the shank of the frog hook. So it makes me it sit parallel to the surface

[@KrakenBass]

That's awesome! I didn't know that. I'd totally love to use your iobee replica. Here's my email where we can exchange info - [e-mail]

[@coletteproctor7316]

Got the color Guide to work Still having problems with the master class, though. Ask for our locations and the name of email. Do all that and installs on the picture of you and your son. Any thoughts?

[@johnrains8409]

The best bass lure for heavy cover I ever had was a weedless jitterbug built similar to that frog with green rubber rail similar to that one. Lost it, and I do not think they make them now.

[@KrakenBass]

Sounds cool!

[@retflo2583]

Thanks, great job, but I don't see link for frog...

[@KrakenBass]

Thanks for noticing. Can't believe I forgot that. Through up a link. It looks like they are hard to come by anymore, but I've had really good success with both the kaera and the gavacho. Excllent frogs by Jackall too.

[@retflo2583]

@@KrakenBass Thanks, I have the Kaera an Gavacho, but have never seen this one.

BEST FROG VID EVER (All Black frog day or night -works for me every time////sharpen the hooks and add some goopy attractant) Kraken Bass man great vid

[@KrakenBass]

Thanks man! Appreciate the tip on adding scents/attractants. I'll have to try that.

[@gamingdreams2142]

I have a curse when it comes to frogs but after watching I’m thinking the tip of my rod is on the heavy side. I think I’m going to try a rod that’s a heavy but actually has a light tip.

[@RoyalLineageLLC]

I fish a Texas rig frog lol it might sound funny but my bullet weight that clamps right on the line I put a few inches before my frog and it sits right under the waterline any huge fish or predator fish will smoke it and that’s a fact

[@jimmywallhanger8402]

Man I can set a hook with a frog to save my life. My frogs are soft. I'm 0/10 on bite to hook up. I wait 2 seconds just can't get it done. I love foshing a frog and won't quit

[@andybales7318]

Any bass worth catching, doesn't matter how soft the frog is, what line u use...takes very little effort to press down even the "hardest" frog from a quality bass....the other myth...u "must" use braid...not true at all...again, bass don't have iron mouths...a heavy mono has plenty of strength to hook a bass with any frog...the stretch factor is exaggerated with a heavy mono...another con of braid...woody types of cover..braid gets stuck in notches of wood more often than mono...as far as color? I had 1 day, where i could not hook a bass on a black frog...strikes every cast...i switched to a bluegill color & hooked 95%...the belly color wasn't much different...the sides however, were quite different...had some orange, purple, red on the bluegill color...makes u think

[@corriesmith8297]

Can’t find them there all sold out lol

[@camojoe83]

Mistake #6: Soyjack thumbnail

[@ThomasShue]

So the frog you love is discontinued and is $40 a pop on eBay. F that
