Frog fishing for bass is the probably the best way to catch bass. It doesn't matter how many bass you have caught on a frog, it never gets old!

Whenever I go frog fishing, it is really important for me to first make sure that my frog is ready to go. You really need to set your frog up for success. The way that I like to do this is by bending out the hooks (for better hook up ratios), timing the legs, and even adding weight to my frog at times.
A big mistake that a lot of guys make when using a frog, is they really always fish the same way. Sometimes fishing the frog a little faster or slower can really make a huge difference between you catching 0 bass and you catching big bass.
The last thing that a lot of anglers forget to do, is simply fish a frog in all conditions. A frog doesn't just work in vegetation. It can catch big bass in wood, under docks and on rocks. So just start fishing a frog more often and you will start catching more fish on it!
BassFishingHQ is dedicated to teaching people how to catch more and bigger bass. I will go over different bass fishing tips & techniques that will put more fish in the boat or on the shore. Whether you are just starting out or a seasoned tournament angler, my goal is to help you catch more bass.

When I’m in my kayak I throw the frog on the bank and hop it in like as if it’s real and typically as soon as it hits the water it’s GONE caught so many 4-5s lbers like that

Haven't thought of that. Genius Thanks man!

@cfoutdoors243 2 года назад

Thanks for sharing your tips. One other thing I learned the hard way, and still have issues with is when I get a hit on the frog, my natural reaction is set the hook. I've been working on waiting a few seconds or even waiting to set the hook until I can feel the weight of the fish on my rod. Some days it's like dodging bullets when my frog comes shooting back at me.

I love throwing the frog around wood and in shade pockets. My favorite frog is the booyah pad crasher. Its hookup ratio is really good especially if you modify it like you suggested. I'm eager to get out on the water and practice my skipping. That video you did on it was very good. 👊👍

@craigstuckey319 2 года назад

I still say with proper gear and a decent frog modifications to the frog are completely unnecessary. Most people are missing fish while frogging because they're not using the correct gear. Either that or they're doing something stupid like the "count to three" method. If you feel the weight of a fish, swing. Run a long rod and heavy braid. Problem solved.

@krdpoutdoors 2 года назад

youre my favorite fishing youtuber who talks about these mistakes that anglers make and how to make imedaite repairs to correctly fix these mistakes so you can spend more time catching them. Ty you opened my eyes up to the fact that its not that i cant catch them on frogs its the fact that i needed to add weights to the rubber frogs with the holes in them , i personally don think its that big of a deal if the frogs sink to the bottom because i love fishing on the bottom and plus an advantage of sinking frogs is that i can determine the depth im fishing and search and slay these bass while i look for the agressive fish that are feeding. i wish they would manufactuer small ssize frogs like a 1/8oz frog.

Something I like doing is down sizing my frogs if I feel like everyone is throwing the same size frog I’ll down size by either going to the smallest frog I can get or just taking the legs completely off. The best year I had on a frog was in August I got a 2in live target frog and took the legs off and flat hammered them when they wasn’t hitting the regular or bigger size frogs

I knew the first tip would be bend the hooks out. I have never bent the hooks out and I get a better hook up ratio than my peers that do not bend them out, and we fish a lot of frogs. This would definitely be something the Mfg would do if it really made a difference. Everything else I really agree with. Ultimately, thanks for the video.

@skipdockside 2 года назад

I don't see a lot of guys suggesting the weight up the butt method that's some of the juice juice. My general preference/ If you want extra clack, or more of a baitfish sound profile use 2 or three small split shot weights, If you go light enough with the weights you can use this on open water froggin as well.

I want to start frog fishing, but I don’t have the right gear. Do you have any suggestions for some rod and reel setups that won’t break the bank?

@LiamDCoughlan 2 года назад

I’d imagine most of these tips will transfer over to pike fishing, the tip about bending the hooks out is very helpful as I have missed pike before and I’m sure it’s because of the hook not being exposed enough. I find a big pause occasionally really helps and as soon as you do that first twitch after the pause, BOOM! Bye bye froggy 😂 and the tip about the fast moving frog is definitely true also

@BassFishingHQ 2 года назад

Yea I love those long pauses too, good thoughts

If you want to learn to set the hooks properly on frogs fish them at night because you can’t always see them hit so you go more off of feel and sometimes sound. Wait a second and set the hook after you feel them. They will hold it for longer than you think. Hope it helps someone

@nickcavazos5718 2 года назад

Man the fish lab frogs are LEGIT. I literally take the frogs right out if the pack, pull the legs and hooks and replace with my own round rubber legs then tie the hooks together with braid, put red heat shrink over braid to the bend so it extends past the hole. Tie some thread around the line and hook tie, add a few bbs into body then pull the hooks back, burn a hole between the legs to let frog breathe then glue the nose to thread on line/hook tie. And then adjust hooks.

@johnmccreary8063 2 года назад

@michaelbrooks6976 2 года назад

Do you always fish a frog with braid or do you switch it up and use floor or mono when fishing it around wood and open water?

@Rjhall4191 2 года назад

Anything top water you want to use either mono or braid. Fluorocarbon sinks while mono and braid will stay at the surface depending on the type of lure you're using and if there's weight added to it.

@luckylucky9006 2 года назад

Hey I'm curious to know one have you tried the Googan Frogs & if you have did you modify the hook on it as well??

@ray_of_sunshine917 2 года назад

I have used the Googan Frog and it will get you bites but your hook up ratio will take a hit. (See the video with Lake Fork Guy...he missed quite a bit of fish) Now you can alter the hook angle to address it but I am a guy that believes when they designed the frog it was meant to be used from the package as is. As someone said there are better frogs but they get pricey. There is a reason they cost more. Better hook-up ratio, walking action, no need to discharge water every other cast.

@diychad7268 2 года назад

It helps a shit ton of you use a braid or mono line when fishing any topwater if you don't do that....fluro sinks and just it sinking can tend to draw the nose of the bait down and I ce it's under just even a little bit the water pressure starts forcing water into the body causing it to sink, if you already use braid or mono with topwater then try using some hot glue just around the hole where the hook goes through the body, it helps to somewhat seal it off
