Hybrid frog/swimbait hollow body.....moves a ton of water and looks different than what they're used to seeing. I've got 3 on the way....

I wonder if a big ol pike would follow them out of the reeds .

I can see that working for pike and musky as well as shallow walleye in thick cover like cattails.

Same here , I've not found anything weed free that I really liked , yet. This could be it.

I'm slightly worried about the integrity of the tail - would render the $10 bait useless IMO. I'll let the gallery know - I got suckered for 3 of them. The lake I fish most has lots of trophy bass and no pike or muskie. Bodes in my favor for keeping the tail intact.....

The lake that I fish gets pounded with jet skis and wake boats in the summer and the fish hunker down in the weeds tall reed beds. you can cast up to the edge and get some but if a guy could cast into the reeds without snags it could get a lot funner.

Frogs work for this, but this is something fish haven't seen. Either should work but I like the wake this one leaves!

I have an old version that is something like this lure but the old rubber has shriveled up . The frog looks like it's been dead for 40 years .

This release is a revival of an old design that was discontinued. Maybe you have one of the first!

Try a Johnson silver minnow…a weedless spoon

On DL a few years back, the bigger eyes were in the cattails in 2 ft of water. I took a wide body swim bait and cut a slice in the top of it. Pushed a long shank double hook through a piece of those long thin yellow ice fishing bobbers. I put that bobber piece at the curve of the hook and shoved the shank part through the nose of the swim bait. Pinned the thing in there with a toothpick. It floated real straight and looked appealing enough to me. Trouble was to get the line to settle to the water in the cattails so the bait would stay in the water. I had to kind of bullet cast it through the cattails to get it to work. It could take a few gator bites before I would need to make another bait. Had a blast catching eyes on essentially topwater baits. Might be a solution to a 10 dollar bait.

I've often thought a frog type bait could be produced with a slot to facilitate replacement legs/tails.
