Product Description:
The Bayou Bull Frog is not like other frogs because there are three important factors that set our frog apart from others: (1) Our frog is carefully designed to be true to weight, so each frog will fish the same. (2) When rigged with our unweighted frog hook, our frog is slow sinking because of the pork fat that is cooked into the soft plastic. (3) Our frog doesn’t swim upside down; it will right itself if it rolls over. In addition, there are other important design characteristics that make the Bayou Bull Frog an ideal bait to fish in grass and lily pads. The streamline design of the nose makes it very weedless. The bottom of the frog is shaped like a twin-hulled boat that traps air under the frog allowing the bait to track and travel easily across the surface, and the legs are designed to produce erratic action as you pull it across the surface drawing the attention of those lurking fish. A lot of research and care has been invested into the design of the Bayou Bull Frog to make it the most effective frog bait on the market. View Slides

Fishing Tips:
The nose is designed, if rigged with the proper hook, to allow the angler to fish this bait using the walking-the-dog method, a common topwater fishing technique. The Bayou Bull Frog can be fished over grass because the streamlined nose design makes it very weedless. The best hook to use is a 5/0 wide-gap offset-shank heavy-wire hook. The head of the frog can hide the eye of the hook so that nothing protrudes from the head of the frog except the line. The point of the hook should be fed up through the body and allowed to rest on top of the body where the shape of the back prevents the hook from hanging up on the grass. The shank of the hook hangs below the bait, acting like a spring that exposes the point of the hook when the fish clamps down on the bait. The Bayou Bull Frog will sink very very slowly when rigged with a heavy wire hook; otherwise, it will float a light-wire hook.
An effective way to fish the Bayou Bull Frog is to rig two frogs on one line (a twin rig) with the second frog trailing 8 to 10 inches behind the first frog with the leader attached directly to the bottom of the hook that is rigged to the first frog. The purpose of the twin rigging is to ensure that when a fish short-strikes and misses the first frog, the fish see the second frog and hit it. This technique is very successful when fishing holes in grass or lily pads because the first frog will pass over the fish and capture its attention often causing the fish to move off the bottom toward the first frog, but often the first frog moves out of range or sight of the fish — it is the second frog that the fish will strike at because it is now closer to the fish as it trails the first frog. Twin rigging the Bayou Bull Frog will improve your success at catching fish by making the bait more available to the fish. When fishing schooling fish with a top-water bait like the Bayou Bull Frog, rig three frogs on the line. You're not going to catch three fish from one cast, but you will improve your odds at catching one fish.
The Bayou Bull Frog is an ideal bait to manage in response to short-strikes. Allow the frog to rest after a short-strike, it’s not going anywhere and it won’t sink like a stone either – it will sink very very slowly as if the fish stunned or killed the frog, so just sit tight and wait for the fish to come back around – WHAM!!
