Cheapest topwater Frog on Amazon Gets CRUSHED! 

Chris, hope you read this mate. Been fishing since I was a kid, on and off for years, only ever known very basic tactics, float, method feeder etc. After watching your videos, this week I went to my local canal and tried a jighead for the first time in my life. To be honest, I wasn't expecting much, but straight away got followed by a big pike. Also managed to land 3 decent sized perch. I have to say this method of fishing is far more exciting than sitting wating for a carp to bite. Thank you for the inspiration mate, genuinely. Fist time I've ever caught a fish using any kind of lure, and now im hooked.

You lucky wotsit! Having waterways that healthy, brimming with fish of all sizes and species. Nice one!

Thank you for sharing all these videos much better than tv .and plenty of tips for everyone to try out on our canals

You know what I like about your channel. You’re not throwing expensive products down our throats. You literally use budget tackle in a lot of your videos and produce the goods in every video. Helps out starter anglers wanting to get into fishing. Thanks great video 👍🏻

Been fishing for decades but only lure fishing for a few months - saw this video and took a punt as the lake by my house has been left unmanaged 20yrs, silted up and weed choked but those who know still winkle out big tench, bream and lots of pike. Last evening fishing 18” of gin clear water and chilling in the sunset I actually got multiple follows and a stonking hit. What a buzz - thanks for the great videos

Thanks for the advice on bending the hooks out a bit. Helped a bunch!

I would love to come fish those canals or rivers, as an American. What a great vacation that would be.

Love your vids. One of the coolest RU-vid creators. And without advertising everything, u take care more about the fish than about showing it to the camera, beautiful 👍 And Nice fish too, keep doing that great work 🙂🤝

The hand gesture for "the title of the video" made me chuckle. Love the content

I so enjoy your videos, reminds me of great times out alongside the water. Sadly no longer able to fish due to poor health. I wish you continued success.

Great work there. Love the thinking out and experimentation. Top angler.

Ah, this brings back happy memories - thank you! I love top fishing for Pike during the summer months. Unfortunately most clubs in my area (Sussex) only allow river Pike fishing in the winter.

*Great item. First cast out of the package caught a nice bass. Pulls smooth in the water and sets up nicely immediately upon retrieval. Worth adding to your tackle box.*

That was some exciting top-water action - many thanks!

Love these videos keep it up and show your talent buddy

Love the frog fishing the attacks of the pike are awesome!

Loved the video, as usual! I've been doing some topwater pike fishing myself last week. Lots of fun! Keep it up!

Nice film. Well done 👍🏻

Love the videos keep up the good work. Plenty of variety for all fishing 👍👍👍

when frogging for pike, i tend to do a double hookset, in really rapid succesion. first a light, and then a hard. first one exposes the hook, second sets it. nice video as always mate :)

Spot on Chris, really enjoyed the vid 🖒🖒🖒

When its warm like this i love fishing with frogs

Another top class video full of great tips 😎

Fair play Chris, I’ve not really had good success with frogs and so got too disgruntled to try again. That top water action looked awesome

Fantastic mate top work

Love it! will be trying this in 5 days, cant wait to get back on drain.

I've found when you get a take on surface, to count to two or three then strike usually get them in scissors once they've turned. Strike quick and can pull out of mouth, however it takes some patience not to strike lol. Nice video 👍

Man these canals look perfect for summertime piking! Great video as always Chris! Haven’t kept up to date so catching up today 👍🏼

Cheers, mate, keep on!!!!

Hey Chris, that second one was a desent pike mate 👍 i bought some surface frogs and ducklings on Ali Express and they works, lures doesn't have to expensive, great video 👍🥇

Topwaters is awesome! I just tried fly fishing for the first time this week. It's like topwater adrenaline with peaceful relaxation between hits. Cheers!

This popped up on my youtube and i'm in Australia. Subscribed very cool to watch. I've got the same lure and caught Barramundi on it.

An East Coast US lure and technique request. If it would not be too much, we use what we call "pencil poppers," tapered surface plugs, wide at the back thin at the front, and literally whip the rod tip up and down to maximize side to side action per retrieved line. I think pike on a big enough body of water would destroy one. Cotton Cordell Pencil Popper is a classic, the old ones were better. The newer Japanese designs tend to a fatter head, and not as elegant. The wood Gibbs classics are expensive but worth it. I knew a Russian who did some nice customs, a new NE US cottage industry. Fun to see out of place lures and techniques and if they work.

Well done mate keep up the work 👍

5 questions as a new pike angler.😂 1. Are you using braid ? 2. Are you using a wire trace? 3.what lb line or braid? 4. Would it work on canals? 5.what time year is this method best? Thanks keep it up and tight lines😅

Excellent video 😄

Hi, saw this and went down to the Royal canal, its so weedy, this is the only way you could fish it. Had a couple of jacks and missed a couple more, but it was super great fun, the takes are unreal, thanks for the inspiration, I'd have sat on me arse and watched the football otherwise!

love seeing anything toothy hit a surface lure and some good fish taken. would love to see you do it again with maybe a few more close up takes. (and maybe some top of the range surface lures) love your content nether the less, especially when you show (some) Americans what fish aftercare is. . .😉

My mate recommended your channel. He was right, the best lure fishing outthere.

Thanks for the tip about the hooks. I tried out a frog lure for the first time last week and got a few explosions but nothing got hooked :S

Caught loads of pike on the exact same frog. I added a stinger tho due to poor hook up rate. Was like 1 in 4 lol with a stinger I miss about 1 in 10. Awesome top water bait.

I've looked at that frog and thought it looked pants but you have swayed me I'm going to get one for the arsenal 👍👍😉

Yes ginge excellent content.

Great video as usual, what was your set up apart from the frog? Like rod, reel, landing net etc. Is this type of fishing only for summer or will it work in Autum as well?

Great vid again m8......👌👌👍

your vids have inspired me to have a go at LAW fishing.. cheers Tyson

I would love to go to join you for canal fishing but I am to far away. I live in Michigan USA and we do have a few pike here.Love your videos keep up the good times .

You are lucky.... awesome 👍👍👍 I was already few sessions to try to fishing but wasn't lucky to catch anything... just multiple times pike striked but I don't imagine how never was able to strike into hooks 😂

You're right brother,you can't educate idiots. Stay safe

Ha ha just watching on the bank 😆👍

As a teenager I didn't have the money for the top lures. But you could get Mackerel spinners in my local tackle shop for 25p each, I reasoned that they would flash red and silver like Roach so tried them on my local River Frays and Grand Union Canal. Had a lot of small Pike up to 7lb on them, still carry a couple in my kit 40 years later

The best lures I used, was some £1 spinners from Poundland around 13 years ago, when I first started fishing for pike and perch around kings Lynn, even caught a chub from a part of the river no wider then 3 ft behind some bungalows which no one ever fished before, only chub to have ever come out of the river lol

If u dont have lots of weed on the top water i often put a treble hook on the top of the bait then u have a lil better hook up ratio

Great video, we are off fishing shortly with out cheap top water 🐸. Let's see if catch as many as you 😂. 🎣😎🐟

I tend to modify the hooks on these frog lures, turn them up slightly and get a much better hook up rate, before was getting a lot of bites but not landing much.

Great video mate and a few more like it please! Have you seen the cheap topwater spider lures?

Awesome. I have the same frog and way more expensive frogs, ducks, frucks etc. Nothing beats the moment it gets hit and I always jump. Fish them from the bank an kayak on small rivers and norfolk broads. Great for chucking into the bank then hopping onto lilies then through the weed. Will try the offset trick as I miss probably 8 in 10 hits. Hooks are a bit brutal too and stingers not an option in the weed/lilies. Keep posting :-)

another great video thoroughly enjoyed watching it. where about's are you from ?

Nice 1 mate I have a few of these frogs 🐸 just want to ask what net you’re using? Got a pike other week spent ages trying to get treble out of the net

Hey how's it going??..GREAT vids you can really learn loads 👍 I've been using a Shakespeare sigma flick open net and it fell apart after two seasons 🙄 what net are you using in this video buddy??

I'm trying that exact lure tomorrow

Hi chris what landing net /handle do you use?Im looking for a new one for roaming the banks

I always buy the lures you recommend, can you post the links to the ones you bought so many to choose from.

I've used one of them for catfishing with good results They don't last long though Nice vid ✌️✌️✌️👍

I literally brought that weird set for some fun on the fen some of the poppers in there and small jigs were actually alright

Would like to have a go for pike 👍 learning lots from your videos cheers 👍 how come sometimes you walk along whilst reeling in?

Think I'm going to have to get myself a froggy.!

dam that chaep frog was magic

Looks like there isnt much boat traffic on that canal as its so clear. My local canal the Ashby is chocolate colour

Hi , do you crush the barbs on your hooks

I've had pike on floating bread several times now lol

Is there any big pike left in British waters.not seen a good size pike for ages.

Hey Chris I love you vids. I use to be a keen angler many yrs ago and I want to get back out there. But my gear is about 20 yes out of date . Could you recommend an all round set up so I can get back out there and try to get some fish on the bank. Cheers mate 👍🏻

Great vid chris what size rod are you using ther

Great !! Love your videos - what canal is this??

What time do you think is the best to go fishing morning or evening?.great videos keep up the good work

What rod ypu using? I got the same but the 0.6-6 gram version. Wich one are ypu using for frog fishing

I see you have obtained a more suitable net!

Nice bravo

i wish i had a local canal like that

i buy loads of cheap lures, top and diving including soft plastics but you do take a risk on the action of them more than anything!, some are as good as the expensive ones but some are pure crap and thats the risk you take ;)

If you take the frog and bend the hooks a little out on both sides, you will hook them more. The hooks are bent a little more in then need to be. And i know they do that to keep it weedless.

How come you change the reel handle from L to R, or is the recording reversed?

Lures, not laws! Lol. From a southerner 😀

Just had my delivery of these today. Think I will have to test this evening

Best frog I have used is a Dpopper, think it's made by Diawa. They are really good.

I used these yesterday funny enough, the purple one, had lots of takes, but I struggled to actually land one it kept unhooking, would you say I'm. Just not being aggressive enough to sink the hook?

My 2nd biggest bass was on a weightless 6" floating worm, burning it on the surface. It's the action of the bait not the price.

You should try with a rubber duck as a bait! :)

What is the name/brand of your net, it looks really lightweight and portable! Cheers! Another awesome video btw!

I always got terrible hookup rates with pike on hollow frogs. A Heddon Moss Boss is just as weedless, works on the surface, can be allowed to sink and be twitched sub-surface and will double your hookup ratio.

Are unpowered kayaks allowed on those canals?

PS: can you do another song from your bathroom? 🤣🤣🤣

Watching from India 🤑what good bait for common crap fish🤔

5:20 TIGHTEN THAT DRAG 😫😫😂😂😂

I have one of them frogs 🐸 bit iv not tryed it yet whachi g you chach on it I will give it a go

They do work well, but the trouble is that they tear so easily when taken - and then they sink. I' ve tried repairing them with superglue, but it doesn't really work.

are there any perch or trout lures above 15g?

What kind of reel do you have

Interesting. The first pike I ever caught at age 12 was on an artificial frog.
