Field Notes

Use around pads and other surface cover where fish are actively hunting. Cast to the edge of vegetation and let the floating frog sit, then work it with short twitches to make the paddle-tail legs split the water and trigger strikes.

Pros

  • Floating design ideal for pad/weed targets
  • Realistic leopard frog profile
  • Paddle-tail like legs create water-splitting action to draw active fish

Cons

  • Best results require surface/cover situations rather than open water
  • Hooking depends on proper EWG screw-lock setup
