That’s what we want, the master class. I enjoy when u and the crew go into depth and let go of some of the juice! That info the weekend angler doesn’t have the time to figure out. Keep killing it JW!
I really enjoyed this & learned something too. Please do the buzz-bait next. You said something about how you retrieve a frog similar to a buzz-bait & that would be a nice tie in. Thanks Jake.
Thanks for the lesson. When are you going to buy a house with a pond in the back yard ? Needed for your future bass pro's !
Im absolutely here for a 4 to 6 hour master class on frogs. I can talk frogs for days 🤣 ca delta has ruined me.
I love frog fishing and like you said I bob it on mats. I generally look for small holes and stop in them and twitch. One little tip I have is I kind of cast high so the frog slaps the mat, it's like a locator beacon for the bass, then they can track it.
I'm always I may have missed it, but I don't think you mentioned that whenever you do get the frog bite you need to count to like one or two. You need to count to two at least and then set the hook because if you don't let them get the bait in their mouth, you're going to miss a lot more. My hookup ratio is much better when I count to two or three before I set the hook.
Rapala needs a crush city toad! 🐸 maybe in the Super TPE?
I can't wait for the master class!! I loved this video thanks!!
what kind of scent do you use on your frogs do you ever put scent inside the frog? Also tips for cottonwood with braid?
I feel frogs are almost never the best way to fish. Most guys just like the exciting blow up.
Unless it’s just so solid with weeds that nothing can be used.
Then you miss half of them.
I’ve been beaten 100 times by dudes fishing frogs.
I LOOOVVVEEE frog fishing! Jacob, I like having a shorter rod for my froggin rod. I’m using a 6’6 medium heavy with 30lb test. It does what I need it to do and have caught a bunch of hogs on it!
Always great information buddy and I love froggin. Thanks
i spent the last two saturdays (4-6 hours each day) frogging and i could not land a single fucking one. 30+ blow ups, 10-15 hook ups probably 5-8 of those felt real solid and were being reeled in.. but they all managed to spit it. went out and bought new frogs after the first day, same situation second day.. must be me.. ill keep trying. i did catch and land a chain pickeral on a frog though, so no skunk 🤣
Great video and useful information. I had a hard time watching though because the TV in the background is not level, that just me though.
Unrelated but can you get Rapala to get in gear and up production on any black blue/green pumpkin variations of the Crush City Cleanup craw? I'm catching so many fish on these and literally everybody is sold out. Thing gets bit like nothing i've ever fished.
J Dubs, I really appreciate all the effort you put into teaching. We appreciate every type of video you put out! Straight 🔥
Man just said brown n showed a straight red lol
Do you have a problem walking a frog with the long butts on Duckett rods? I use duckett rods for most everything else, accept frog fishing.
OMG, Jake, it worked. Why would they call a bait a frog & it inmates a fish?? Anyway, I threw a frog in a fish color today & had blowups. YES.. But no hookups. I cut my tails down?? After I found them, I didn't know what other bait to catch them?? What would you have thrown to catch them, Jake?? Thank you so much for helping me find them. I did what you said.. popped it, pause, walked it, pause. It was incredible..
Just gotta make sure the fish has it. Hence why he said on dark frogs put a white or pink line on it. It takes me a few hook sets to break off the rust when it starts getting to be frog season up here in the north.
@jamesharper7459 I went to the same place today & nothing. Where did they go & why?? Do they move miles away, or is it more subtle? This is where I really need help. Thanks for responding & I appreciate any advice.
@@jamesharper7459Another James Harper!
@@DHW448A lot of anglers have a weightless senko on a second rod and cast it at the fish after a missed hookup. Something that will slowly fall imitating an injured frog or other fish. Good luck and tight lines.
Is there any specific knot you use for walking frogs? Ive heard of anglers using loop knots but i prefer the polymer.
Great tutorial. We really appreciate you sharing your experience and knowledge.
i LOVE To fish a frog. its one of my favorites. But i think I have caught more bull frogs than fish over the years lol
That kastking Deadbolt has no drag. Literally designed for froggin and flipping that thing is a tank
I can’t believe they discontinued the Terminator Walking Frog Jr. Those are the best frog ever! Jacob please tell them to make those again
This video just popped up in my notifications right after I received my Berkley swamp lords in the mail. This is wild
Good video. I’d love to see similar for buzz baits and large swim baits.
Black looks like baby birds redwing black bird in swamps or bats … and yes it profiles well also
Not all frogs are equal less than handfull are only worth using 💯👊
This video is so much more interesting than another top bait of the month video!
Swim & football jigs next!
U should check out Gratt frogs 👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥
When do you throw the pink colored frog?
You can boil a tough frog and soften it up some
How to fish a crank bait next pliss
If its a blow up i usually just wait 2 seconds or if i feel the fish... now if they just grab it off the surface i'll give it up to 5 seconds before setting the hook, like ive told my buddy who has trouble with the frog because he cant be patient... the fish sometimes just grabs it and needs a second to really get it in their mouth same the videos we see online underwater of soft plastic bites
Also in bluegill fisheries... like ponds and what not i prefer a poppin frog... walking one of those when bluegill are present is super deadly just getting the extra little splash like a bluegill nipping at the surface it can get wild some days
Surely people don't think a hollow body, or soft plastic for that matter, frog is mimicking an actual frog? JW at Eufala and Kissimmee it kinda looked like a spro popping but was never close enough or I wasn't paying enough attention to tell, was it or is it something that y'all are working on with Rapala/Terminator or one their brands? For storage do you put cornstarch or baking soda in the box? If so, that powder stuff that Taku uses works well too. I'm too much of nerd with bass fishing. I'm constantly playing around with changing the hooks out, making a homemade skirt or switch it to hair, I've also went a little overboard and weighted/foamed certain parts of the hook/body of the frog to see how sitting on or in the water affects certain body shapes. It seems to me, and I could be wrong, that there are 5 basic categories of frogs: walking, popping (even though I mostly walk them too), mats, wood/bushes and commotion (stuff like the Sprinker, honker, etc). If you weren't sponsored and price didn't matter, what would be your pick for each one? Edit: Nice Biden flag lol!
Love this! Thank you.
One of your best videos. Really enjoyed it and I like the in-depth explanation. I have a couple frogs and since I'm giving up my 21ft boat and now fishing from the shore it is nice to think about adding a frog to lures I can fish from the shore.
My main frog set up with an 7:3:1 abu Garcia Max Pro with abu Garcia Lee Johnson 7ftish rod 50-65lb suffix braid, it goes so far
Thank you I have been working on throwing frogs the last few years and caught a couple of nice fish.I been basically fishing ponds and have not got an enough bites to feel semi confident in the technique. This will help me a lot thanks! See you at Chowan this weekend. Tell DC will got plenty of shrimp 🦐 in nc waters.😂😢 That dude is 🤪!
What knot do you use for a frog?
great stuff, Jacob! Yep, I definitely will boil slightly some of the stiffer frogs which helps soften.
I know Chickamauga is your home lake and it’s mine as well. I remember one spring when the water had came up to summer pool and I was throwing a black frog. I must have timed things right and got lucky because they were attacking that frog like they hadn’t eaten for a year! To this day I haven’t been able to duplicate that day but one that goes down for me in my history books. I think that is where time on the water really comes into play by simply right place at right time! Thanks for sharing the info Jacob! I was eyeballing the whole video of your jumbo spool of braid!😁😁
Ive been a frogger since i was a teenager. Great video Jacob Wheeler! One thing i do with almost all my frogs is add 3 glass beads inside it. It can be tough to get em inside the frog, but well worth the effort as it adds a rattle to it in dirty water or really heavy cover. I also highly recommend the 6thsense Vega frog. It seems to have a really good hook-up % from my experience. Thanks again for sharing sir!
This was awesome … thank you
Great video, I learned a lot, I've used the ribbit frog & had success with it mainly on mats!🎣👍
Awesome video, thanks so much. One thing I have done that makes walking the bait easier is to use a loop knot. I will always add two half hitches to complete the knot as I know how much braid can slip.
My question is do you use any clearer than mine for your bracket all your baitcaster would you put braids together
What frog is best for Fishing Boat Docks?
I’ve always been a fan of the pad crashers. But I more so bend my hooks out than I do bend them up. Seems to have more “hook surface” area for the fish to get cracked when they grab it.
If you ever want to come to Norris Lake and show a brother how to do some open water frog fishing, we can take my boat. Awesome video.
Would love to see some action shots of you utilizing the techniques as well! Especially with the retrieves
Master class plz
Great video 🔥🔥 a flipping / punching vidio would be great.
What’s your thoughts on carbon fiber rods vs traditional?
I am a fifty something year old that has been fishing most of my life. I never really had anyone teach me about fishing so I learned on my own. I learned tonight why I can’t catch fish on a frog. I’ve been doing it ALL wrong! Thanks for a great video bro!
Love this style video jacob. Been trying hard to get my first big frog bite. Had all sorts of bigs on everything else. But a Frog
This is excellent. Class style where we learn. Nothing is worse than a “technique” video where we watch the host catch fish. Well done. More please.
Thanks JW
Thanks for all the great tips!! Can't wait to get some froggin going this summer. Definitely one of my favorite bites.
When you go to chowan black 100 percent of the time
Are the ribbit style solid frogs with paddle feet any good?
Great video!! Got to love fishing with the frog!!!!!!!!!
Ty
Awesome class, thank you Sir!
Booyah Pad Crashers are the frogs I’ve settled on. My hookups are probably around 90%, I cut the legs short and also bend the hooks up off the body just a tad.. Another trick I do is wrap the line tie section where the hole is in the nose of the frog. About 2 layers of 30lb braid is enough, then I super glue the braid and wait until it’s fully dry. Once you put the hook and line tie back in position the line tie is seated tight on the frog. It won’t take on as much water, that saves you a lot of squeezing throughout the day.
I’ve got 3 of the booyah 4 pack frog kits jrs poppers regulars
Can I get a Crush City hat? 🔥 Those are dope
Thanks for the lesson on frog fishing
I can’t wait for that master class
Great how to video,thanks
I need frog stuff
Man I've always wanted to be a guy that can throw a frog but I just haven't gotten the confidence for it yet
Once you get that first bite you’ll never go back
Take 2 rods with u. One heavy cover frog rod and 1 open water frog rod. Only take them so u have to use them all day. Even if ur not catching u will start learning how to work it better and putting it places u want. I’m sure u will catch some too
@@Brizendine7And one additional rod for missed bites/blow ups!
I mean you can fish a frog terribly and still catch a fish but your confidence level really is key but I mean I normally go to a place I know there isn’t fish and practice
Frog? I heard all you’re good at is spotlighting with FFS
He was winning major tournaments before FFS was even a thing
True but... All he does now, is stare at a screen... His last tournament (Heavy Hitters) was won on a frog (5 of the top 10). Wheels didn't even make the cut as he was busy playing video games...
