Anyone ever try fishing a frog like a plastic worm? And has anyone ever tried Six foot popping rods or light action musky rods for frogging

Yes, No, and No.

Fished a frog like this back around 1987, Caught a few fish. But nothing to brag about.

Sometimes when I deadstick a buzz frog and it sink, I hop it off the bottom, I catch a fish or two.

More fish while buzzing it tho.

Definitely more fish fishing a worm like a worm

Not sure about the rods. I used to flip with a musky rod tho

Not really sure I understand the question. What do you mean fish it like a plastic worm? Plastic worms are fished so many different ways I think you need to narrow it down more.

While fishing a buzz frog I will stop if I get to the edge of a hole in the weeds. Get some huge strikes sometimes as the bait changes course and speed.

i bout a couple packs of trigger x frogs on clearance a couple years ago, couldnt get a bite on top with them. but when i let them sink and fished them like a worm i started catching fish on them...

Buzz them along the edges, every 10 feet stop and let it drop a second, then buzz it again. For soft plastic frogs only

I have flipped a handpoured buzzfrog after running out of creatures. Not my first choice but it worked. My youngest also often drags a soft frog behind the boat when he gets bored and has picked up some decent fish like this.

It's a Stanley Ribbit on an Outkast RT jig. You want go at least 3/4 oz. to get the legs ripping on a slack line drop.

I have tried it, both as a jig trailer, and as a texas rig. As a jig trailer they are about the same as fishing a Rage Craw or similar for a trailer. As a texas rig they aren't my favorite bait, because they usually don't have very good action on a slow retrieve. Plus they are usually more expensive than normal baits.

A Berkley PowerBait Realistix 4 inch Kicker Frog is well suited for under surface action as it is not an average buzz frog. It has some awesome action on the legs. Takes a 5/0 or 6/0 EWG though.

Here's a picture of one in the "tree frog" color.

i've been rigging manns hardnose toads on a 3/0 weighted swimbait hook for years and just dragging them slow on the bottom... 3 of my 5 biggest bass ever were caught this way.... caught over 50 bass in 6 hours on the potomac doing this.. and it works great on the small lakes in pa most of them are loaded with frogs and they dont swim accross the top unless they are being chased so this is a much more realistic presentation than most traditional frogs... watch one when they get spooked and jump in the water.. they go straight to the bottom and swim along the bottom this mimics that perfectly
