- Frog Fishing Is Awesome! These Tricks Make It Even Better! Its topwater time and today we're showing you some of our favorite frog modifications to catch more fish with a frog. From rattles, to body styles, to weights and more... these are the tricks you can use to make your frog stand out and get more bites!
Heavy cover frog fishing will blow your mind! The first time a bass explodes through cover to get your frog, you're hooked for life. Traditionally, frogs didn't have a great hookup ratio but we've learned how to change that through years of trial and error. Today we're showing you all the simple tricks you can use to get more bites and catch more fish.
Below you'll find links to our favorite frogs by style, as well as the components we use to modify them, and the rods we fish them with. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Monday brightener right here
Always a good day when the fellas from TacticalBassin post a video!
Just bought a few of the 6th sense frogs, by far the best frog I’ve ever used......
Love this channel. No joke, Tim and Matt are my fishing coaches. I value their opinion greatly.
I just crushed my PB frog fish twice this last week first new PB was 5lbs second PB of the week 6.8lbs totally awesome week. Good luck everyone
Never had success frog fishing till I bought the little Allen now I have seven of them and a crush on that Mat and Tim frog
Tim thanks so much for this video, bought some frogs a bit ago and haven’t been doing well with them and this video has taught me a lot! Can’t wait for my first topwater frog fish!
Tim, you could make a weekly frog video and I would ask for more. It's my favorite lure because of the excitement it creates and I really appreciate your suggestions.
I'm in Michigan and pulled up a 7lb on a scum frog. Best frog out! Best hook up ratio out of any frog I've ever used.
GEEZ, a 7-pounder?!?! As a former Michigander, I get what a genetic mutant GIANT that is for the Great Lakes State! Helluva catch!🎣🐸
Hey Tim thanks for the great video learned Alot I'm blown away at the knowledge you and Matt have for your ages. I'm almost 60 yrs old and I thought I knew a little bit about fishing until I started watching your videos sometimes I feel like a dope because you guys are so talented and experienced. GOD bless you and your families. Ps really enjoying your fantastic videos.
I don't know about anyone else, but I certainly wouldn't mind if you guys took a break from talking to catch 4 lbers! Awesome stuff all the same. You guys got me hyped for frog season. Keep making the awesome videos!
Just wanted to say thank you guys for your tips I recently got back into fishing when my son asked if I would take him. I was simple going to take him fishing once and be done then I was hooked and haven't looked back and on memorial day I hooked my first fish of size a 7 pounder man it was awesome and your tips and tricks was a big part of it. Just wanted to say thank you for the education and my guide to becoming completely infatuated with catching big bass.
There's a brand called Runcl for those who want thinner diameter, 8 strand braid, and are are on a budget. The 60 lb 8 strand is .32mm versus the PowerPro 50 lb at .36mm. More strength and line capacity for about half the price.
Good vid. Last year up here in Mn we had terrible cottonwood invasion. Literally couldn't bank fish or fish too shallow all spring long. Was terrible!
Hands Down Best Channel ! Thanks Tim
Love frog fishing. Nothing like a top water blowup. Caught several this year already on them. Great video.
Thanks for tips on frog fishing i have just started use them this summer and i have caught some nice bass on them still learning about bass fishing but catching those fish just make me want to learn more about bass fishing thanks
Tim...it was great seeing you today at SMKW...you are a stand up guy. Thanks for the videos. tips and tricks... Also another huge Happy Birthday to your boy. Hopefully we get to see him in some videos soon.
I have been waiting for your frog advice. Thank you
Great work guys!
Man thanks for the tips. Can wait.
Devil's in the details, GOOD STUFF this morning. Thanks for getting down in the weeds a bit, we all need that sometimes
That SPRO flapping frog is the deal🔥 it has really changed my frog game🤘😎
Great edit for sure Tim.
Another tip as braid looses it's coloring, a big black marker, slit the chiseled point and drag the line through color black (camo tip), and the inking adds some body to the braid as it get's limper as it ages. Replace the braid when it gets over a year old, it will fail as it gets aged by sun, use, and being worked through junk. Loose BB's or SST bearing balls adds another dynamic of sound and allows you to easily overweight a frog for fishing in mat, where you want it to have more weight. If yo do it with BB's you'll get the added sound. Another trick can't believe I'm sharing this. Fill it with water throw it around wood, and rocks. Count it down and walk it unseen 10' down. They've never seen or heard anything like this in their kitchen. Big frogs will come unglued, especially in mid summer.
I love the power pro super slick V2! I think it’s the best slick braid out there and I have tried almost all braid
How do you prevent the frog skirts from gumming up?
I have to constantly purchase new ones when spring comes back around.
Could try baby powder in the box you keep your frogs in.
That’s a tip from this video, but I haven’t personally tried it as I have yet to do any frog fishing.

The Daiwa Zillion on the Expride, lol I love it!
Love frog fishing season
At the end of the month, I caught a 10# Bass in South Ga on Bully Wa in the little Allen color. It was an epic blowup to!
Thanks!
🥇🏆
love the content
You have to pay attention to the hooks. After hooking waterlilies, woody structures and fish they lose their point which is crucial. to getting the hook into their mouth past the barb. My landing ration goes up after careful attention to the hook sharpness and especially the point and replacing hooks on frequently used baits.
I see your little finger is good now. Great video. Bassmd
Toad thumper walking frog all day. You guys gotta try that one. I got rid of my frog box altogether. They walk with ease, throw water, leave an excellent bubble trail, perfect softness and you can still chuck it in the craziest cover. Toad thumper all day no joke.
What are you thoughts on that power finesse St. Croix rod? Would love a review. I tried it as a frog rod for smaller frogs, but lost a lot on it in the slop, which I attributed to it being pretty soft. I switched to the 7’4 HF, it was probably just fisherman error.
Excellent Tim, thanks for sharing.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
U should do a video on the 13 fishing and livetarget weedless hollow body walking baits
I know this is off the video subject but as for crank bait fishing, what would be your thoughts between the St.Croix legend tournament or the g.loomis imx pro for a crank bait rod. For fishing depths 10-18 ft. Just hoping for your opinion. Thanks
Don't even mind in the slightest when you get distracted and have to throw to it, would be hilarious/awesome to see you nab a 7lber mid video lolol
Childersburg Anglers ❤
Focus Tim!! Focus!!
Hey Tim, why are you and Matt starting to fish a moderate fast action for frog fishing? What is the benefit?
Whats your thoughts on the Lunkerhunt Prop Frogs?
I believe I that was my problem I can’t really get a good walking motion from my frogs and I was doing both of the mistakes at the same time and suggestions on correcting but also preventing wrist tiring out I feel like I can’t get it right if I’m not “forcing it” I don’t wanna have a loose grip and get a fish and not be ready does that make sense
Thank you very Much . Very informative video. Gave a lot of insight, it's going to help hook up on some hogs here in SwFl.
tim is it true to use baby powder to store frogs so the legs don't stick together or melt together? thank you
been crushing them on frogs here in illinois
To get my frogs just right I’ll boil them in my kitchen in a pot just like noodles it is hands down the best trick you can do to a frog it softens them up just right
I didn’t quite get the answer for best frog in your opinion for matted cheese style lakes? I’ve been fishing the River2Sea frog and having really good luck with it but it does seem to flip over a lot.
Sorry I guess I asked the question too soon, I got my answer. Thank you!
I’m having a hell of a time getting my Bully Wa to walk. I even tried trimming one leg shorter than the other… no improvement. I can walk tons of other baits. This one just won’t walk for me like I need it to. 🤷♂️
What do you guys think about the zodias 7'1" heavy plus for small to medium sized frogs? I can't a single review on that rod.
I got 4 blow ups on a frog with that rod this morning 😁 Not willing to offer the stamp of approval yet... need to lean on a few more fish to make sure.
I very possibly may just be doing it wrong, but I NEVER get bit on frogs and the few and far between blow-ups that happen, the fish MISSES the lure... what could I be doing incorrectly? I know the frogs and rod combo are good, so it HAS to be me. Any thoughts, because I would LOVE to be able to enjoy frog fishing, but I usually use a punch rig since I do get bit on those.
Where did you find that sweet Rays hat?
My Popping frog's always starts to sink badly ,any help on that ?
squeeze the water out or if you've caught a lot of fish on it retire it ang buy a new one.
@@ScuffedEngineer I've done all of that the new ones does it as well after about 3 pops its under the water. I even tried to glue it lol.
I fish lake laneir where mostly spotted bass can you catch them on a frog
It's a sickness man.. a reel sickness 😂
Put the rattle right up the "belly" of the frog. Riiiight. Lol the belly
Dean Rojos would be proud. 😆
What is the reason for using braided line vs mono/floro line? Could you add say 20 or so feet of braided to your reel to achive the hookset?
Braid has no stretch. Doesn't sink. Keeps your topwater bait on surface.
@@NorthWoodsWes Thank you
Oh we heard that
What do you think about the new live target frog? Looks like great action from legs, but do you think it makes a difference?
I frogged one on some 10lb mono before. I think I just got lucky.
What is the name and brand of frog with keel on bottom
What brand /model of frog was that that had the kicking feet?
Spro flapping frog it's in the description if that helps
Yep! I realized it after the fact.thanks
Np
I have a legitimate question for anyone with the knowledge, please. For topwater frogs, do you need a Heavy/X-Heavy rod because of:
a.) the hookset needed, or
b.) because of the slime and gunk that usually accompanies the technique is something to compensate for.
I have an Expride *MH F* rod that I want to use for frogging, but I don't fish near any aquatic plants or lily pads. Can I get away with frogging with this rod, or could it cause harm to my rod?
Please anyone, feel free to comment, even if it has been a while.
I heard that bass blow up! Pause the video and catch him! 😂
1st
Haha. Aloha!
@@toddpossum OK, second, duly noted.🥈 Good morning!🌅
@@midwestfischerman good evening here brah! Have a great day
Do you think I could get away with fishing a frog with 30lb braid if I'm not fishing heavy cover?
@ Gunadoo , Yes !!! I use 30lb braid a ton , even in sparse grass.
@@bobbybass1944 sweet thanks!
Size 55 or 65
Whatever you do, don't leave those spro flapping frogs near any kind of heat. They melt easy I personally think they suck
They definitely need a little more attention than most frogs but I caught a ton of largies on them when I couldn't get bit on other frogs
@@stevemcewan8129 I use the Blitz baits Buzz frog but it has problems as well like the legs get bit off, and the body is shallow making the hookup ratio worse but they're serious fish attractors and they don't melt
Do you ever replace the legs/ skirts on your frogs? If so, what do you use to do so?
Tim you are so ADHD! 😂
I got ten minutes into the vid this morning and a squirrel decided to commit suicide in the underground power vault and blew up the transformer.
Now I have to start again from the beginning, damn squirrels.
I wouldn't trust you if you didn't make a cast after that blow up. Too bad she didn't bite.
