the eyes on that frog are incredible...I always wondered if a paint job got to a certain point if any additional detail really would make a difference to the fish, more of a difference to us and our wallet I am thinking...

i haventcaught another frog off it but iv seen frogs swim up to it. for frog patterns keep it natural/dark. try to use them in low light conditions to maximize your strikes.ohh yeah a tip i can always keep is to set the hook when you feel the fish on the line. the bass/pike like to slash at it first except at night reeling in realy slow they just kinda suck it in.
i just never bought a live target frog.
look up the frogs in the area and match it.
