@TUFFBASS I was talking about you clipping your frog tails in the water. Good way to keep the environment healthy! (To many fish= great fishing) and we all know we don't fish for catching....we fishing to get away from our wife's. Just helps us stay out "longer" trying to get at least one Bite. (I'm being sarcastic, since you didn't get it the first time)
@@JamesJones-cx5pkwhat do you mean? Could you pelase elaborate? I had about 10-13 blowups but did not catch a fish except for 1 time and that was today. 13 bites with 1 hookup lol. Help pleasee
@@allenfistbotm3336 I know right. Do you know how bass jigs have those bristle brushes over the hook to keep it weedless? They also make single hooks with a piece of wire that makes the hook weedless. They come in packs of 4-5. Pull the double hook out and put the single hook through the nose, out the ass facing down. 👍
It will work personally i wouldn't cut them down that short take half inch off at a time and make one side a lil longer than the other it will walk really nice u will catch alot more bass ive caught 100s on a frog
Honestly predatory fish like bass and crappie usually swallow their food head first, and whole anyway…..I think having patience is the key to any fishing. You have to let the fish eat the frog before you set the hook. After I see the fish grab the frog, I count in my head to 4, and exactly on 4 I set the hook. It’s worked for me, and I hope it works for you.
Actually i can say they walk better when you cut them like that and hes right they will sometimes js try to drag the frog under by the "legs" i cut em a little bit longer than his now when i get a bite damn near guaranteed a fish
I did this all this week I used frog out the box then I used one a cut and I caught more on the one I cut hook set a lot better . If the skirt is to long you will miss bites because bass tend to go for the skirt first thinking it’s the frogs legs
I like leaving them a little longer, it makes it a lot easier to walk the frog in place almost. Plus there so limber that the bass isn’t gonna have a problem swallowing the whole thing
I appreciate the vid, helped me catch lots of Pike today. But please clean up the rubber bits next time, it may not seem like much, but its still litter.
That is great! 👍 I would also like to mention that after I realized I snipped the bits and they fell into the water I cleaned them up no worries! I respect nature and this video is a misinterpretation of that.
I have one of these lunker frogs,amazing,although never catched anything with it,it still nearly nabbed me a ( and almost caught ) a foot long largemouth
I would Never Ever cut a frogs legs. Adjust your hook set. The frogs legs is how you get the finicky big girls to bite when dead sticking it. Bass are opportunistic rip it all you want you’ll catch them. But your eliminating a key natural trait in the lure itself. To each their own. Happy Fishing 🎣
I find a half inch off the tails and bend the hooks out for better hook ups works better then short clippin. Around scum it works but the tails being a bit longer help with walking. But damn are frog bass a blast!
Frogs are a great way to find fish, but a bad way to catch fish. Most fish lost by a frog is because the fish is slapping at it trying to stun it rather than eat it. Have a 2nd rod ready to go with a jig or Texas rig (or anything that's going to sink. When you get that blow-up, get that 2nd rod out as quick as you can. The fish will circle around and see it's stunned prey falling. That's when they'll eat it.
@@danielkinn782 I apologize for offering some advice for the people just looking to catch more fish, not just giants. Frog fishing objectively has a low hook up ratio; congratulations to you for mastering the technique.
Bro you are literally telling me I littered when I grabbed the clippings after I was done recording. Even if I missed one tiny 1 inch piece of rubber it isn’t going to do anything. Do not comment on things you don’t have solid proof of.
@@TUFFBASS No I don’t think so. The legs give it action, no need to trim. Having a jr size frog can help with setting the hook more accurately. Not every bass can fit a whole pad crasher in its gullet.
I had a frog bait that had actual legs had it for 2 years never got a bite on it …. Got hung up in a tree in July broke off the bait fell into the water and drifted under the bush I was trying to get to…. Kaboom something hit it smh just my luck I suppose
NOBODY DO THIS. I DID IT AND NOW IM JUST MAD CAUSE I BOUGHT THAT FROG THIS MORNING FOR LIKE 15 BUCKS, I’m only 11 years old and now I’m not gonna be able to walk it right
great. now i just need bass to actually try to bite my frog
😂 saaame
This is a lure for summertime. It’s one of my favorites. Get a kayak and fish the spots no one else can.
@danielrichardson6054 I use them post spawn and when summer hits I never use them. Straight horny toads, buzz baits, and big spooks..
In your dreams...

Nothing like throwing our trash into the lake. Great tip. 👍 Gonna try this next time. (Keeps the fish population down, i like it)
Don’t be stupid.
Keep your negativity elsewhere it isn’t right to litter so keep your crap in your bag.

And you have missed hundreds more because that’s frog fishing for ya
Also bend the hooks back just a little with some pliers
Always do 🎣
so they point slightly more up or?

Boil ur frogs for a couple minutes to make the rubber soft so when the fish bites it will get hooked easily and you won’t lose as many fish

No, I never said that in this video.
Here’s a word of advice, you were supposed to wait until you can feel the fishes weight before setting the hook.
The legs don’t necessarily need to be that short but they do not need to be longer than the frog 👍

You want the legs at long as the body. That’s what every single pro fishermen says
Sounds about right!
@@TUFFBASS but you cut them much shorter than that lol
you are technically supposed to cut the legs for that reason, but not that short it ruins the movement of legs

@TUFFBASS dude, it's still littering. Preserve nature.... its not hard to cut that into a bag or back into the tackle box.

Awesome but that is wayyyy too short try to make the legs around the same size as the frog or a little less never that small
Agreed, I messed up the first clip so there was no turning back.
This is what NOT to do… when you want to catch more bass. Just get a smaller frog, always carry a normal size and a junior.
Definitely should be doing this to your frogs, the smaller frogs still have too long of legs. 🦵
@@TUFFBASS No I don’t think so. The legs give it action, no need to trim. Having a jr size frog can help with setting the hook more accurately. Not every bass can fit a whole pad crasher in its gullet.
You def cut it wayyyy too short bud.
Most do 0.5 of an inch, maybe an inch
I do many different lengths on different frogs, this length was most suitable for this frog and my circumstances

Why are you upset when your frog is better than it was when you bought it?
I’ll stick to a fluke or a work
You just shorten your strikes big time. Won't have the action it normally has. I cut my legs as well but just a tiny bit.
Haven’t had any less strikes and the action is the same from what I can tell. Thanks for the comment!
