Huge Topwater Frog

Featured Replies

Hey guys this is my first post. I was in a bait shop today and saw a picture of a guy holding a big bass and next to it he was holding a huge soft plastic frog. then as i walked around the corner they had three of them hanging in a teaser for saltwater fish. they guy says he doesn't know what kind of frogs they are, so I'm just wondering if any of you guys have ever seen them? thanks

That's a big frog. I don't have a clue. Maybe someone will chime in soon with the answer. 

I believe gambler makes a pretty big cane toad

Edit: I just looked it up I think they changed it

They were probably custom poured by a local guy.

Bogs makes a huge 10 in. Musky Frog, and 3:16 makes the No Bull Frog. Just a guess.

I have never heard of it but from the sounds of that thing I feel like Speedbead might have 3. :)

That sounds pretty sweet. Was it the Relax series frog? Other than that, they must've been hand-poured because I've never heard of a 10-inch frog before.

The largest commercial solid toad I'm aware of is Manns Hardnose Swim Toad, but that's only 5" long.

As stated above, it's most likely a custom pour.

I thought bogs also but it basically looked like a giant Stanley Ribbit, not as realistic as the bogs. ill have to get a picture next time I'm in there. Even if they are a custom pour there pretty dang cool. Thanks for the response guys 

Sizmic frog makes a giant frog, at least they used to a few years ago. I'm guessing that may have been what you saw.

Edit: It's the sizmic magnum toad I'm referencing

I have the big one from bog baits but I have no clue where to get a hook to rig it let alone where to put the hook in?

It's a few years old now and sitting here.

I have up contacting bog baits he said I needed a 15/0 hook. I got one but the hook is a monster.

Try turning into a "line thru", pass a leader through the nose, out the rear attach a frog hook(a large one) then pull snug, so the hook tips are tight against the back. The 3:16, use a 8/0, and you can find smaller hooks 10/0-12/0(that 15/0 is a monster at nearly 6" long!). Let us know how it works out. That Musky Frog isn't an "action" frog, but more of a dead stick bait. 3:16 has a swimming action.

Never heard of the Bogs before, pretty cool looking.

 

My first guess was the No Bull, biggest one I know of.

Check out Z Man's frogs on TW. They have the Pop Frogz version and another. It's rated at 4" & 6" but in the video I watched on them I can't imagine they're less than 7" or 8" with the legs extended

I have a new guess, Kalin's(Uncle Josh Bait Co.) Sizmic toad, they made a big "Magnum" 8.5" version(Like Bigfish guessed)...?

Ive seen one large topwater frog before.....and i have to say it was the strangest thing ive ever seen.

8" long, 1 1/2 " wide, had a metal rod going through it and had 3 large hooks and 2" long string tails...I have no idea if it caught any fish, but you could definitely guarentee a fish had never seen it before
