Frogs are some of the most versatile and exciting topwater baits to fish with. Watch Jon B fish a frog in ways some would consider unconventional conditions.

Instead of pitching a jig or flipping a Texas rig, Jon begins by skippin’ and whippin’ his hollow body frog up shallow into thick, nasty brush and timber. This helps Jon do two things, cover water and provide a unique offering that the cover bound fish aren’t used to seeing.

Open Water Frog Fishing

Jon also shows off a prime example of fishing a frog in open water. In the summertime, a single patch of shade can seem like paradise to a warm bass. The shade is a key feature during the dog days of summer, find some and walk your frog.

BOOYAH TOADRUNNER

Designed with a loud thumping tail-end which plops, buzzes, and spits water across the water’s surface helping call in bass from a long way away. Target sparse vegetation, flooded timber, or shaded banks and put this the Booyah Toadrunner to work.

Rigged Phantom Casting Rod

The Rigged Phantom Casting Rod will help you winch in the big ones. A stout rod paired with a fast tip will help with long hooksets and along with adding extra leverage while fishing in the slop.

Shimano Curado

Any good frog fishing reel should have a high gear ratio to help you quickly catch up to fish. Frog reels also need a strong drag to help prevent slippage during stout hooksets. You should be able to completely lock down on your drag and not have to worry about it slipping during one of those Jon B like hooksets.
