Buzzin' frog

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

I'm a newbe here and I'm very impressed by the craftsmanship of many members.

I was wondering if anybody could be making a few copies of a bait I assembled using a hardwood body a friend made to my specification. It can surely be improved too!

What I like about this design is that is sinks very slowly, and I can either use a treble hook for open water or a double hook for fishing over pads or other vegetation.

Yes ghost, I've been looking at your site and I saw this. I will have to try. But I think the picture I shaw is a little different. I would think mine is a little heavier and casts maybe a little bit better. The wood is very dense and sink even on his own without any lead.

Also the point is to have a treble hook so I get in the boat more of those short bites infamous of buzzbait fishing!

So no one can make this?

They can be made but most (at least down where I am in the US) do not want the bait to sink. Our lakes are thick with vegetation and to allow the bait to sink would be to eliminate that cast from catching a fish. We rig our frogs with a treble stinger to get the short strikes quite well.

One of the points on the treble is cut off and the other 2 are plunged into the frog legs allowing for a completely weedless presentation.

The bait will sink slowly if allowed but topwater is where we want this one.

Good luck!!!!!

Jim
