Featured Replies

ok, im getting strikes like crazy on this but im only landing around 10-15%..... i make sure to wait a few seconds and make sure i feel the weight before i set the hook, but they still keep comin off..... its like the stay on until they get about half way to the boat and then they come off..... any tips or modifications to the lure? thanks guys

I had the same problem the first time I used mine, he came off pretty quickly. Then I got snagged on high grass and lost it : ( its retrievable though I just haven't gotten it yet lol

I am no sure this will help but for me with my spro bronze eye frogs I bend the hooks out away from the body a little bit and has increased my hookup immensely.

i lost like 5 fish this evening and 3 of em were 5+..... so i gota figure this out haha

Take out the hook and put in a bigger one and bend the hooks away from the body.

what size do you recommend?

might sound crazy.....but, depending on the cover you're fishing...put on a trailer hook...or 2.  i don't do it often.  but have tried it and it works.  but there wasn't much weeds/etc to foul it up.  just a suggestion.

I use Spro Frogs, so Im not real sure about the Scumfrog, but I just take the hook out and bring it to a tackle shop and find a hook one size bigger.

get yourself a spro frog (pricey but effective) and do what these guys have suggested and bend the hooks up and away from the body just slightly. and for gods sake, don't wait to set the hook, set it as soon as you know he or she didn't miss.

I dont have experience with the scum frog but I have had the same experience with Bronze Eye frogs.  I was about to give up on frogs but then tried the Spro Popping frog.  The bait does not have to be modified and hooks up big time.  You still miss fish but not like with the Bronze Eye.  The Popping frog casts a mile and walks very easily, not as subtle as the Bronze Eye but way higher hooking ratio.

I used both bronzeye & bigfoot this past monday and though I got strikes on both, no catches, I got more stikes on the bronzeye. Both were green. Ive yet to catch anything on the bigfoot after 4 outings amounting to 3hrs of use. :)
