I was watching an old Bill Dance outdoors where he was fishing frogs, he said to wait till you feel the weight of the fish before you set the hook. That really helped me to not be to early.
I have followed that same idea for years, very effective, but sometimes it is hard to do. Love Bill Dance just wish I could remember half of what he passed on.
Bro I literally watched that and episode not to long ago
They like to swipe it then pull down once they pull down I yank up such a fun way for them to bite it was 3.5 pounder
I remember seeing him say that when I was a kid. Great advice forsure
I totally boil my frogs in my wife's pasta pot 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Frog fishing is the most fun but most aggravating way to catch bass !! When they’re slamming it , it can’t be beat . But when they’re just swatting at it and not trying to feed , makes you want to just go home !! Great timing on the video , frog bite is turning on here in Massachusetts!! Got my first few frog bass yesterday. Great video as always
So frustrating..a day of bad frog fishing makes you wanna give up forever..maybe just the day!!
@@jacobalbright3715 I don’t think there is a “ bad day “ of frog fishing lol if you’re out on the water throwing a frog it’s a good day !! Catching some makes it a great day !!
Spent the last 3 days watching videos on frog fishing trying to figure out a good setup. Low and behold you post this. Are you in my browsers history (I'm sorry if you are). Great video.
This is my 2nd year fishing and watching you I've only put a Lil time in on the frog but I think you just helped a ton thanks. Like ur new channel too!
Great teaching video. I have been avoiding frogs but you have me some really good information. Thank you. Tight lines...
Absolutely love this video I have fished frogs for a while and love it. The baby powder trick is something I have been searching for although I know how to replace the legs on them I prefer to have a way to preserve them and this is something I will definitely try. Thank you so much!
Great video again Tyler! I haven't thrown a frog in a while and will have to go back to it to try some of your hacks. I fish poppers often so was cool to see that at the end. Thanks!
Awesome content and info
I got into fishing last summer and these tips will help me a lot because I love fishing frogs! Thanks!!
Thanks for the great tips!!
Thanks for the great info❗️❗️❗️
Tail hook is genius!
I really enjoy watching your videos and the great tips you give. Thanks again.
Great video. Thanks
Great tips and instructions as always!! 👊🏼👊🏼👏👏
Tyler, thank you for the content. I really enjoy you channel. I absolutely loved the boiling tip I can't wait to get home from work to cook me up some frogs... lol. Thank you sir!
Slightly bend the hooks up and out about 1/8" will help with hooking up
Man I enjoy your videos SO much, thank you for what you do. Wish I could spend a day fishing with you. Let me know if you ever make it to Georgia.
Great hacks on this one. I sent the link to my brother, he's constantly frustrated with frog bites and blowups to hook up ratio. I hoard and fish the old Strike King Grass Frog a lot and use the countdown to get more hook ups. Like the boil method we'll use the same pot my wife uses to melt old candles down!
Thanks 👍
thanks for the advice
Question about tip #3. Would trimming the legs a little encourage the fish to bite more of the frog? Bottom line, is the length of those legs terribly important?
Excellent as always!!!!
Great tips. Paint a bull's-eye on the bottom of that frog. One day I did the same thing frog fishing the only difference was by the time I counted to 3. 5 of the 9 bass that day had spit my frog. It was so frustrating. Sometimes i count other times just set. Great video!
Fantastic frog video thank you best advice I've heard 👍
Good tips and video.
Great video thanks from west Michigan
Do you have a drinking game goin on for when you say ACTUALLY?!😂😂
Got some them lake fork frig tail weights. Game changer. And I seen Randy Blankrat boil his about every 6 months or before a Torney or fishing trip.
Awesome video👊
They were hitn' topwater frogs alot the other day. I only landed 1 though. Now I have some of them frog tail hooks you suggested. Thanks for that.
Strike king rage frog best frog on the market ! I’m sure everyone has their preference the best frog is the one you’re confident in usually because it’s the one you’ll cast the most , great video and great tips love your channel long time follower
Great tips. Had to laugh @ last hack, but it’s so true. I love topwater action. What a blast. Walking baits, Poppers, Buzz-baits, Wake Baits, Ploppers, Devil’s Horse, Jitterbugs. My PB came on a buzz-bait. I’m trying glide baits now seeking big girls.! Thanks for an excellent tutorial!
I do A LOT of from the bank frog fishing because lakes nearest to my home are lousy with pads and surface weeds I will use your tips especially waiting at least a 3 Mississippi count because my hook up to strike ratio is about 1 in 4 on smaller 3lb bass
Great content I now make it a practice to buy any tacke you showcase from the links on your channel.
Anybody remember the old weight trick when these came out? Wrapping solder around the hook inside the body? I used to put a small cut in the legs of Snagproof frog and inserted bbs to weight them down a bit
great tips
Thanhs for the grate tips.
Big thing that has helping me is bringing myself to wait a second or two after the blow up before I set the hook
Good info, Brother! Just a couple of things that I do with my frogs. I usually boil them twice. Boil once, let it set til cooled, boil it again. The other thing is that when I open a frog I will take some pliers and adjust the hooks to where they are parallel with the body and point them up about 1/8 inch.
I want my frogs to be able to do what they're intended to and that's throw them up into any awful mess of weeds or sticks that I can find and bending those hooks up or off of the body ruins that capability. I've tried it.
Love the Mississippi count experiment 🧑🔬
Got to love them Mississippi’s
Switching to a rod with a softer tip really helped me catch more on a frog.
Idk what a fast action would do for you frog fishing, thats just odd. Straight braid on a 7'+ broomstick is the remedy. Nothing but backbone hookset. Anybody fishing frogs on mono is simply doing it wrong. Wait 3 seconds and swing to the SIDE, not up. I miss zero fish. Little guys get ripped out of the water for a second.😆 Think about it, you have to squash that frog body down and expose those hooks to catch something. That requires a hard, fast, explosive yank with immediate impact to the frog and the fish's mouth. Mono will just stretch, delay and weaken your hookset.
@@phantomshtter mono is better in open water
Great vid man. I put a split shot in my frogs to help cast a little farther.
Enjoyed your video brought me back to about 25 years ago. I went to my father in laws buddies who had 3 lakes in middle GA. 2 small then a large one. I caught the most Largemouth bass in 3 days in my whole life. I got my PB 8.5 on a live bream. Threw it out in the middle of the lake and forgot about till my friend told me that I better start reeling my line in and caught her ..long story short, I fished a spook most of the days that I was down there. I can't tell you how many I caught, but it was the most Bass I have ever caught in 3 days. Long comment but I thank you for your great videos. David
I’ve only fished a frog a couple of times. Have not caught a Bass on a frog yet, but I am confident that will change. Once it warms up for good here in Ky, I will have a frog with me every time I go out.
Frog fishing is one of the most fun ways to catch bass or pike. It can be frustrating but once you get your timing right it will be very productive. I use a multiple of different frog styles.
Sup Tyler. Great video and tips. I think I have every type of frog. One I haven't used yet because of surgery, bad year. Ever see a frog with a whopper plopper tail from MB. The powder is awesome idea when leave in truck especially! Boiling is cool. Have to find those trailer hooks for certain frogs especially. Can I add copper bbq to frog? Ever see the frog with whopper plopper tail from MB? Can't remember name? Ty tc.
I just missed 4 topwater bites pulling it out on the hook set. I was using a swivel snap because I’m lazy and I think that was messing me up so I retied without it but I didn’t get a bite after 🙃
I am with you on the being lazy thing... I often run a swivel with a small tactical angler style clip and have found it actually helps me land more fish. I can swap lures quickly which allows me to spend more time fishing than retying different baits when I'm trying to get dialed in on what the fish are responding best to. I fish alotta spots that also hold toothy predators like, bowfin, snakehead, and pickerel. I know for a fact that I've landed more fish and saved myself from losing many lures by having the benefit of that metal swivel clip bite off protection... Just keep in mind that it can have an effect on the action of some baits, but as long as you keep things scaled down in proportion with the bait you're throwing, it won't be much of an issue. You obviously don't want to use a large swivel and clip when throwing a lighter / smaller or popping frog for just that reason. At any rate, I would just say don't waste time worrying too much about what could have happened and just fish with confidence knowing what CAN happen. Just keep on fishin... A lure isn't gonna catch many fish if it's not in the water.
GREAT video
Caught a 17.5” bass with a hula popper today near JC, KS. 3.76lbs!
Wow the bass holding the frog that long was interesting. I’ve never seen them do that.
I fish snakehead as well on a frog and holding off the hookset for a second or 2 really does help with hookups and I always bend my hooks up and out, no matter how soft or hard the body is. Hookup ratio has been 99%.
I occasionally put Bass Pro Shops round rattles in my frogs. They are in constant motion even when the frog is not moving. I think the sound with no motion makes them very agitated.
Ark is most definitely my go to rods down in Okeechobee!
I ordered some of the rods
Very interesting
I only ever fish Spro Frogs. I never ever do anything to them. I fish them put the box. I never lose fish on them. The only thing i do sometimes is trim the legs. I dont get why guys always bend the hooks etc. Some poor guy spent hours designing his frog.. for me its not broke so dont fix it. Love the baby powder tip!
I like to use REEL MAGIC on all my frogs and spinnerbait. Keeps um from getting tangled.
Stuff went from 6.99 to over 11 bucks where I live in the last year.must be made of gasoline 🤔
I fish lake st. Clair a lot, could you do a vid on fishing in clear or open water? Thank you
yeah but Tyler , what if i want to strictly use the weighted frog for bottom fishing on a Texas Rig??? that i wanna drag on the bottom in open water or not on a texas rig at night what'll happen then in that situation.
Just curious does it make a difference how you tie your bait
baby powder? Bro... multiple silica gel packets in every tackle box.
Tyler where do I go to get the Lake Fork Frog Tail Hook? Please and Thank you.
“A frog be a frustrating lure at times”. Ain’t that the truth.
I’d like to know why frogs don’t come with silicone legs instead of rubber. Some do but very few. Silicone never melts like the rubber skirts and works exactly the same in my opinion. That’s my biggest pet peeve in the world. You can own a jig for 10 years and it won’t melt, but frog legs might melt in a few months.
I wonder how those skirts would hold up to huge hooksets when they just had the legs though. I feel more comfortable tugging on living rubber than I do silicone. Also rubber floats better that silicone- if the legs started to sink on you, probably would have even more "only leg" hits than we already do with the rubber.
@@Psykout maybe, but I’ve yet to have any problems with silicone legs before. I’ve had to replace several frog legs before with silicone. Also Some frogs already come With silicone legs, but just not the frogs I like. I’m very picky when it comes to frogs. It drives me nuts.
So my buddy was boiling a frog the other day and i was going to remind him not to use the same pot that you are going to cook with but then i thought to myself he has to have actually been catching fish on the frog in order for that to make sense so I just kept that comment to myself LoL 😂😂😂
I also live in Ohio. (Cincy). What’s the best lakes to fish in Ohio.
Have you ever fished Eastfork Lake in Batavia Ohio area.
If not I would like to see you come down and fish it. I would like to go with to see how you break down this TOUGH LAKE.
I have been watching a million videos on lures and worms, frogs and spinning baits and i guess i am kind of lost. When do you know what to fish?
I know you SHOULD weight to set the hook but I normally hit them maybe a second after they hit it and I honestly feel like I don’t miss very many
Some people wait to feel the fish, some people swing when the frog disappears
This was a very informative video. How much baby powder do you put in each frog slot? Also, if the legs are already "deformed" and you put the baby powder on the frog, will the legs become "like new" or will they stay wrinkly and deformed?
Boil the deformed ones to renew.
Anybody have a good source for replacing the weight/plug in the back of the frog?
An old trick I saw when these and the snag proof were all the rage...experiment with different gauge solder wrapped around the hook inside the frog. Easy to apply and remove
Threw a frog all day yesterday on the river and wore them out!! Missed my first two but caught the rest after that
Being new to bass fishing.....don't own any frog, never tried it yet...by chance does the place doing the sales on it have a store in Amazon?
They do Amazon pay
@@mattquinlan4629 ty sir I can't find it on Amazon
Hello good sir
Hi
Years ago I put bb's in my frogs... now I use glass beads...
Money maker is more Heavy , than Medium heavy?
It’s a MH. Acts pretty true
@@BassFishingHQ for popers use invoker 7.2 medium regular ?
I have one, seems pretty spot on medium heavy to me. But also seems more extra fast than fast
Ccok the frog!! I don’t know that! Let me try that on my new frog!
Where’d you fish growing up in Ohio?
Bend the hooks up, easiest fix
no cutting the tail?
wow...no bend the hooks out or trim the legs?! some good tips here.
No need to bend the hooks when you boil it, bending hooks makes it a lot less weedless too. And trimming legs is unnecessary in my opinion
@@msquared9605 agreed on both. My comment was geared towards every other frog tip video...that all include those two things.
@@nomaddamon670 yeah and then you would comment something like “wow.. no other tips besides the same ones that are in every other video. Some good tips here.”
@@msquared9605 no, I wouldn't. My comment was genuine. I've never heard of the baby powder method. Certainly a few good tips here. Keep trolling on down the road now kid.
Surprised your not using a loop knot?
I've tried frogs for years. All different brand and styles. I've never caught a single fish on them. Never even had a strike. I use all types of top water lures and catch fish. But never using a frog. 😒
The powder is a old trick it's been out there long time
I still have not gotten a hit on a frog! I can get them to hit a buzz baits and a Googan top water but not a frog. Smh
Tip Number 1: Throw it on a spinning rod
This is a joke by the way. IYKYK
Lololololol
lmao
@@BassFishingHQ thanks for everything you do man it's truly helped me and my son become better fisherman we have learned so much from you and a few others on YT!!
Not funny.
buy 12 get 1 free lmfao yeah thats bizarre
Right. That doesn’t even sound attractive
What part of Ohio are you at?
Once the rubber cools down it goes back to its original hardness 😒
I tried, but my Joe Biden electric stove won’t boil water
If I boil a girl, will I hook up faster?
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved
Amen Amen 🙏
100% on #4. Wish I had saved the video, but it showed how when they hit the frog at first they are pulling it under then eating it, or even just trying to stun it before eating. I also feel like because of the soft body, they are less likely to spit it out and will really try and eat it, kind of like how weightless soft plastics they really chomp on.
Edit: I found the video - actually has a 2000FPS slow mo of a bass hitting a frog in tank so you can see everything PERFECTLY. Not sure if throwing links to other youtube stuff is what you are wanting here though... It's immaculate footage.
I say set the hook before I actually set the hook
