Why these fit

For weedless fishing over mats, you want a hollow-body or weedless surface bait that stays high and can slide through thick cover. Lunkerhunt Combat Frog is explicitly built for heavy cover like mats, weeds, and reeds. G-Ratt Baits Popping Frog 2.3" Topwater Bass Frog Lure adds a cupped mouth for extra disturbance when bass are buried in cover. Deps BASIRISKY is a weedless surface bait for grass, mats, and heavy cover with a walking crawl. G-Ratt Baits Con Frog 2.5" Topwater Bass Frog Lure is another strong heavy-cover frog for aggressive topwater strikes. Invasive Custom Lures and Baits King Cobra is best if you want a more aggressive planing topwater frog that pushes water hard over vegetation.

Technique notes

Start with a steady crawl across the mat, then pause in holes or edges.
For the popping frogs, use short pops/chugs to make the bait spit water, then let it sit.
In thicker mats, keep the rod tip up and use a firm, steady retrieve to keep the bait planing.
If fish miss, pause longer before the next move; many strikes come on the dead stop.

When to switch

Switch to a louder popping frog if fish are shallow but not fully committed. Switch to a more aggressive planing bait like Invasive Custom Lures and Baits King Cobra if you need to cover water fast. If the mat is too thick for a frog to move cleanly, a different heavy-cover presentation may outperform topwater. If bass are missing the frog in open pockets, try more pauses or a smaller profile.
