Double Teckel Sprinker/Honker Frog - BIG BASS CATCH 

Bobby Swain True!

Bobbi Jo Kulenek great idea- thx

Brandon Doten yep

slumdogg .gaming.559 thanks man!

Dsm4g631Evo thanks - so strange I was just re-watching that video and you commented. Been raining dogs and dogs here can’t wait to get out and fish again. Thanks again for watching!

Tackle warehouse just shipped my two backordered ones. Go ahead and order even if they say backorder and they may come sooner than you think.

Wayne D yep that should work for sure

Stutz Outdoors thanks!

lol, that was my first good frog hook set, I was excited, a little. Ha ha.

Thanks!

Nice of you to say, thanks!

Timothy Rose thanks!

+cecil moreno thx!

Austin Gist Fishin' yes that's a great idea

INDIE GEMS THAT JAM hey thanks!

metaloutlander thanks, I wasn't excited at all...lol!

I purchased a teckel honker frog (available at tackle warehouse) pulled off the blades and adapted two swimbait tails to the the old blade locations. You'll need a couple of parts but pretty easy really. To be honest its not as effective from a $$ standpoint because the honker frog costs $12 so after all the stuff you end up spending $18 bucks or so. Not really worth it in my opinion. Check out what lunker hunt is working on due out in a few months. www.tacklewarehouse.com/Lunkerhunt_Prop_Frog/descpage-LKHPFG.html

martin rivera that's a great idea

Thats a good idea. Thanks.

LOL, thanks!

yes, there is a company selling replacement tails. Not sure which one but saw it on youtube...that will open the door to play with many types of lures...

jpvand1 actually a really god idea.

Maybe not, I was going for a teckel frog kinda thing but the teckels are tough to find. Anyway...

Joe Simpson Yea. Im gonna DIY my on spinker frog soon. and i had the idea to do this too but then i realized they have the ones with paddle legs already. this one might have more action in the legs though!

Justin wood quite a smart idea thanks!

MANUP not sure what that is... but probably

Fishbrain is an app for iOS and android. Check it out

Oh, cool thanks.

Bowman Muay Thai sure, it’s easy. I will post

Thank you sir. That would be awesome!

sai moua thanks, I'm like you...I think using your instinct for each hook set would be the way to go, problem is I don't have good frog 🐸 instinct yet :-). I guess just set real hard.

Great Idea, looks like lunker hunt had a similar idea. Go on tackle warehouse and look at "lunker hunt prop frog craoker" just came out this year at icast 2017. Its available this fall. I am going to order one to check it out. I love anything with the plopper action. Thanks for the tip they are excellent ideas.

I subbed you, subscribe if you haven't. Thanks!

You could kind of make your frog like the Lunker Hunt one, but the back part of the swivel would still be seen. If you shrink tube the upper part that is closest to the main body, it will make the top part of the swivels more rigid. That way they would be farther apart.

meant to say I drop the rod tip to 6 wile reeling up the slack and then swing but as long as u drop that tip reel up slack and swing to 12 ur good man and it don't look like u havin too much trouble

yeah, I was thinking that...Whenever I am in serious goop, I like to hold the frog nose up to keep it clean running. I was like "so how is 6-12 gonna work?" so dropping it down and swinging is the way to go. Also gives a micro pause to make sure the bass has it. Thanks. Joe

Joe Simpson exactly brother exactly wat I'm sayin, some people say to have a little slack wen u swing but most serious anglers will say reel down until no slack and u can even feel the fish and then swing 12 and that's wat I do on the strike drop the tip wile reeling slack and swing, great vid tight lines bro!

Topwater Maniac thanks!!

The top water explosions are insane?! So fun!! Thanks for visiting and checking me out!

Thanks, I was super pumped (like you couldn't tell from all the hooting and hollering). Good tips, I questioned the swivels too and unequal leg lengths. Can always try different swimbait tails too. Thanks again. I subbed you back. :-)

Jenny Baca that's what I was thinking, thanks!

Fishing The 407 thank you!

Kerry Parks couldn't hid it I guess

Joe Simpson Find a frog the is wider, so there is more space between the legs??

Thanks...thats the way fishing should be. Two casts, five pound fish, done. :-)

Yeah I was thinking about that too. If you have any luck let me know how it goes. thanks!

It's easy to do and encourage you to try it. I made it as simple as possible with bare minimum supplies and can even be done lake-side. With a Booyah Pad Crasher frog, pull out both sets of rubber band legs from one side, then using a pair of combo needle nose pliers/wire cutters (same pliers I take fishing), cut a 2" section of 20 gauge (1.3 mm) solid copper wire at 45 degree angle (the point makes it easier to pierce the grub head), insert the copper wire in one leg hole and out the other, thread the head of a 3" to 4"" curly tail grub like the start of a Texas rig, using the pliers bend the wire back in a tear drop shape to retain the grub head and to make it weedless (trim wire as needed), then do the same for the other leg but may need to grasp the piercing wire with the pliers (both new legs should snug up to the body with a slight outward bend of the legs). Wire may get bent after landing a fish, but the solid copper wire is easy to bend back into shape. Not sure which curly tail orientation is best for swimming action (at rest a frog's back feet curl under), but I kept it symmetric. When the bass looks up it is VERY realistic profile with the body shape, two meaty thighs (the meatiest part of a frog), and flapping feet. The leg holes can fill with water but I decided not to plug them. Empty with a squeeze, and the lure floats legs down/eyes up like a real frog. If you load the body with water, you can work this bait sub surface which is where frogs swim. Fantastic swimming action in the test basin and the curly legs land on the water with a convincing splat. Extra weight from the legs should add casting distance. With the meaty thighs, it should have more realistic mouth feel and the bass will hold on longer. Easy and very cheap to replace grub legs. Have not been able to fish with it yet, but I tossed the old rubber band legs...they are history.

I made a correction to the first reply. I used 3" to 4" curly tail grubs depending on the size of the frog body (not 2" to 3"). 2" grubs are used to catch bluegills and crappie. We are going after lunker bass!

Mark Hom frogs with skirts are meant for walking and fishing in vegetation slow. Like real slow, when I fish a frog I want to keep it in the high probability areas as long as I can even walking it side to side a minimum of 10 times in less than a foot and always pause it in holes in thick vegetation for a few walks. The sprinkler frog and it's variations are meant as search baits, fast moving and covering a ton of water like you would with a buzz bait style bait. I stick with one brand mainly and that's snag proof and my frog of choice is the "phat frog' in the basic colors either brown or plain green. Frog fishing is a category all its own and takes time to master and get down kinda like punching. You gotta know what targets to cast to, how long to soak it ect. All in due time! Good luck and catch some mondos!

Angel Tellinghuisen 5.25lb, scaled, maybe the go pro fish eye makes it appear smaller. Still not a giant but in northern VA = big bass, in Florida maybe not that big.

Joe Simpson it looked smaller on film. But a 5.25 is definitely a solid fish! Good job bro!!

Sad thing is I fish that pond so much believe I've caught that fish three times now. No kidding. I need a fresh spot to fish. Thanks!!

Not to sound mean but your perception is a tad off. You can tell that it's a big bass when he's holding it up. In comparison to his hands and how the bellies folding when two handing it, also how big the mouth is. But you do have a point about the video is giving it a smaller look. Video makes it look like tunnel vision almost. Regardless or not. 2 or 5 it was an awesome catch sir!
