Looking to try frog’n for bass with a smaller , Jr. size hollow body frog for those times when bass want a smaller frog size presentation . *The trouble is , most downsized frogs don’t weigh anything (i.e. Pad Crasher Jr.) thus making them hard to cast . For those using the Jr. size hollow body frog what are you using as your downsized hollow body frog that still has some  weight weight to it ? Lastly , I understand I’ll need to probably drop down from my standard,  big frog set up to a slightly softer rod and smaller braid size to fit a Jr. size hollow body frog better. Thanks in advance !

Such a great frog! 

 

Have you tried the Kaera S2?

No , but that S2 model appears to be what I’m looking for at 2.2” and 1/2 oz. I found the Scum Launch Frog XS option in a similar size and a Bronze Eye 60 series about the same size as well . I know the Kaera has great reviews so I’ll have to give it a try . 

Booyah Pad Crasher Jr

 

I haven’t had any issues casting the junior size, I can bomb it even with a heavy stick

Copper Red Baits Ripple, Scum Frog Trophy series popper, Spro Bronzeye jr, Spro Pop 50 and 60 are about as small as I will go on a frog and they all work great!

Spro makes great frogs.

Softer tip rod but not smaller braid.  Big braid helps with the floating.

Scum Frog 5/16oz.

Good Fishing
