Mighty fine looking frog! I hear the baitmonkey calling!

WHOA!  That is the most realistic frog I've seen yet.  I wonder how much they are?  What does 5,250 Yen work out to be?

Yikes!  That's a $43 lure.

Very nice find T-rig, it shure looks prutty.  

Ugliest Frog lure Ive ever seen. lol

dead serious..

I'll stick with my Spro frog for $6.50.

Very interesting...  I must say that I haven't seen anything that life like, but what it is missing, is legs...  Not as realistic as they thought...

The Bush-O is a handmade hardbait so you can't compare the two.

I agree that it needs legs.  When working these over matted vegetation,  that little spinner will do you no good.  IMHO  

Cool fing T-rig.  For the price.  Not for me.  JMO because it looks like a frog doesn't mean it will act like a frog.  Maybe bass DO like frogs without legs.  I like hamburgers without the hoofs. Um-Tastey

I believe it's a walking type lure.

Zara Spookish.

Oh ok.  So the spinner just creates more drag and allows the bait to walk?

I don't care how good that thing looks in the body. It still needs a good set of legs on it. I wonder how it would act if it was thrown over a thick mass of weeds. Not to good I would think.

With the treble hooks?  It would snag and you would cry for those two full tanks of gas you lost buying that bait.

It's a frog, but it's not a FROG.  If I ever start spendin big money on frogs, I'll be lookin at the Optimums and Cover Jacks or whatever they're called.

First things first though... those new snag proofs look delicious

they look very realistic but the thing i don't understand, along with other topwater baits, is who cares what the top of it looks like if the bass can't see it anyways.  It looks like they put a lot of work into the bait and concentrated on the part that a bass will never see.

But we can! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Yea I really don't like that massive treble hook hangin there. Any frog you tie on should be weedless. All they see is the belly of it.

i think it looks great.  i saw a picture of a similarly designed hollow bodied frog that had the spinner but also the spinner could be removed and you could add legs.  that one was weedless.

i think those that dont like it because it is not weedless are confusing it with the frogs they are used to using.  this clearly is not meant for traditional frogging situations.  its too steep for me but i do think it looks interesting.
