ScumFrog Bigfoot

Featured Replies

 I have always used the Snag-Proof Casting Frog (I have snagged one :) ;D) and just bought and used a Bigfoot. I was hopeing (because of the shape of the foot) that you could pull it across the muck to an opening and then the feet would kick in like a Ribbit. Just wanted to tell ya'll they didn't work as well as hoped, for me. The legs seemed a little too stiff. If you just pulled them in open water, they worked. That's not what I was looking for...

I heard they are supposed to be worked like a buzzbait, but I have the same problem with mine.

 Bb101, really like Ribbits myself! Was looking for something that would float in one place. Haven't found any Ribbits like that yet ;D...

You might want to consider boiling your Bigfoot in some water on the stove. I have heard that this softens up the plastic. I read on a forum that someone likes to do that because he feels as though the softer frog allows him a better hook set. Now, you may be able to take the legs out and boil them to soften them up, then put them back in. The softer legs should kick better.

Plastic Man,

 Thanks for the tip!!! I hadn't thought of that. The legs and body are one piece but I'll try just dipping the legs. Haven't lost anything if it doesn't work. I was going back to the Casting Frog, if I couldn't come up with something, anyway. Might even try it on the Casting Frog ;D...

I have just bought some new ones myself. I will be boiling the older ones to find out if they have an impact.
