Favorite Topwater Frog

Do you have a favorite topwater frog bait?
I’d like to try a couple of these newer frogs with swimbait type legs (lots of action/noise) for mid to late summer bass.

Spro Bronzeye Flappin Frog 65.

It ended up being the only frog I threw after I got used to it. Obviously it is easy to just reel it in, but I also got comfortable popping and walking it.

Caught a lot of largemouth and a few smallmouth on Vermillion with it in August.

You’d think color would not matter that much but I had multiple days when color was the only difference. Red Ear was my top color, second was Killer Gill but it was a distant second. Something about that yellow belly on the Red Ear.

Just a all black spro

I only have two colors, both in spro bronzeye. White and black.

Frogs haven’t produced consistently as they use to for me in the past.

Bass only see the bottom of it. They don’t care what the pattern on top is. That’s nothing but a marketing ploy.

In spro the best color ever made is natural red. Do not buy the all white one, more of a pike magnet. They work down south but I’ve seen white get outfished too many times in MN by a more natural color. Stick to black, green pumpkin, and browns. The new Berkley swap lord is a great frog. It’s got better colors than spro, walks better, and less problems with the skirt wrapping around the hooks. I haven’t bought a spro frog in a long time, with the exception of their popping frog. I make a secret frog that can’t be beat in heavy mats, but I can’t talk about it here.

Yep, I’m only looking at the bottom side of the frog for color but I gave him the specific colors. We had multiple outings this year where you could not get a bite on a white or black belly but the yellow belly got lots of hits.

It’s one of those things now that everyone in the boat has a different belly color on until we decide if color matters that day.

More times than not this last year, color did matter.

you mean people actually go fish for bass!!!!!!!!

Caught many walleye on frogs as well late in the season.

Been about 10 years but I liked the scum frog big foot.
