So, I would like to try this Teckel Springer Frog out sometime (everyone is out of stock including TW), it seems to have the plop of a Whopper Plopper but is weedless and a frog, which is awesome albeit I don't think you'll be walking the dog with it. However, on closer inspection I noticed that the tail is held on by what appears to be an Owner CPS twist lock. This makes me think that the tail is very soft and can be damaged or lost, thus needing a new tail. I haven't seen any sales of replacement tails for this lure. I'd hope that it was a permanent tail, but this doesn't appear to be the case.

 

 

So, is this a soft tail that is expected to be replaceable and are there replacement tails available?

 

 

 

I don't know for sure whether the tail is soft or not as I haven't held one personally, but I did see somewhere a picture of a pack of replacement tails.  I believe it was on teckel lures Facebook page.  Supposed to be released mid July I believe.

Well, than that makes sense. Too bad, a permanent tail would be nice.

Bamafrogs had them in stock a couple days ago

 

edit:gone now

They come with 2 tails, one mounted, one spare.

Tail looks similar to the YUM swimming dinger tail. I'll probably try those when it needs replaced to see how it works. 

I wonder if you could use on of these, take off the hook, add a premium swivel, a cps spring and a swimbait tail...
