hand poured 3.5" Buzz Frawgz?
The ribbit frog is one of the best... the buzz frog is also good, maybe try to slow down the retreive on the buzz to get the feet to kick right. Jeff

Lot of people holding them toads wrong......
What is your thought about laying a fish on its side being bad ? not saying its right or wrong because I do not know. I am a catch and release guy all the way and would like to do it right too. Jeff

what to do....top water frogs
Remember to give the fish a good 3secs with the bait in his mouth before you give the hookset. x2 I have found that I used to set the hook too soon.,.I let the fish go with it for a few seconds then set it hard !!! Jeff

another 1st time.. !!!!!!!!!
last night fishing I casted up by a fallen branch. Of course on the 2nd cast in that area I was over the branch and the bait ( stick worm ) was hanging 1/2 in the water & 1/2 out.. I was sitting there deciding if I should just jerk it over the branch or reel it over slowly.A bass hit the worm so of course I set the hook hard..Well no fish.. but got the worm back..I have been tangled a lot like this and always thought,,, now I will get a hit when I don't want it.. well its never happened,, til last nite..Kinda cool. Jeff

Single or Double Blade Buzzbaits?

Cut the line?
X2, Very great info.. RW.. If for some reason that doesn't work for ya. I have had to go through the gills with my needle nose and push the point back though the gut so you can see the point and the eye of the hook.Then cut the hook in half and pull both halves out. Jeff

Caught my 1st one tonite..!!
I have always wondered if I would ever catch a bass that had some one elses lure in it. Well tonite it happened. This bass had a pc. of line with a loop on it hanging out of its mouth.Got my hook out then pulled on the loop and out came a complete pre-rigged plastic 6" worm. I could only see the line but when I pulled on it the whole worm came out of its mouth. All 3 hooks were disolved away.. Jeff

which frog design do you like better?
Caught my PB best just last nite on a hand poured frog poured from Bobs Buzz Frog Mold.. watermelon w/ Red.. But the Stanley Ribbit is awsome too !!!!! I was using a 3/0 EWG hook.. but now I prefer the frog type hook with the extra pc that pushes into the front of soft plastic baits.!!! they seem to make the frogs last longer . Jeff
