Field Notes

Use this musky frog on weed edges, slop, and shallow cover where surface strikes are likely. Cast and work it with short, rhythmic pops or pauses to imitate a struggling frog and trigger explosive topwater hits.

Pros

  • Large 9-inch profile ideal for musky surface feeding
  • Hand-carved basswood with glass eyes for realistic look
  • Leather feet add lifelike movement

Cons

  • Primarily a collectible/rare lure—may be less practical than modern frogs
  • Large size can be harder to cast and may require heavier tackle
