Lets Talk Topwater Slop

[Deitz Dittrich]

Jason, most places have them now... I picked up a half dozen at Gander the other day.. they do last longer than just about any other frog I have ever used... I have not noticed less hook ups because of the harder plastic either?!

[river rat316]

I have an awesome hook up ratio with the Bronzeye Frog, there the best imho

[bassNspear]

Dietz, You should see the new hook set up im place on them babies. You would fall in love with them.

I also use the bronze eye. This season was the first time i actually had gear strong enough to withstand the pads and scum. I was a little hesitant at first to try them, now after fishing them regularily, I almost do not leave a lake without heading to some pads or scum.

Also, they are great to us just past the pads or in shallow water with emerging veg. using walk-the-dog technique. I have found that the bronze eye are pretty well balanced for this technique.

I love the bronze eye frogs. I almost always have one tied on when I'm out on the lake. I have found much better hook-up ratios with this frog than the older ones IMO.

Another good one that comes pretty close to the Bronzeye is the Swamp Donkey put out by Reaction Innovations. They've got some good colors.

Flippen Stick, 50lb braid, and a Spro Jr.... buckle up

[bassNspear]

GETR DONE

[EBass]

Spro's are sweet. Has anyone noticed that those tourney frogs (same maker as the scum frog, and grass rat) used to have thicker plastic then one year they went cheap and it was paper thin. What the... That was about 3-4 years ago. I loved them until they went cheap on the thickness. Now I get spros, but for 8 bucks! Then a 3lb pike takes it

[bassNspear]

man i need to get a few of them. Try them out for size.

[CALVINIST]

I have never used anything like a scumfrog before, but after all the hoopla on this link about the Sprofrog, I went out and got a one and went to my favorite bassin' lake...must have caught at least a dozen bass on the thing!

[Cyberfish]

Yeah, I couldn't catch any on my new bronze eye, I thing casey the calvinist put some bugspray on mine when he was trimming back the legs!!

[vikingmeatwad]

I want to try one of these bronzeeyes but what colors do you guys prefer?

[Cyberfish]

I always go light colors for bright weather and clear water, darker colors for dirty water or low light.

[bassNspear]

pretty much the same here. Some lakes are different. Why im not really sure

[Deitz Dittrich]

I really dont think color is important when it comes to topwater. I think the color is usually washed out by the sky or you are fishing it above so much slop that all they see is an outline anyway... I fish with white becuause then I can see when its gone.

[ocf1]

I dont think the color matters because,

1. its on pads alot, they dont have xray vision.

2. a frogs belly is white, when you look up, you see white, its a natural disguise

3. Bass will rely on the vibrations more, they cant tell thing s apart from eachother like humans

The thing is that colors can e transmitted, so on sunny days days on clear water situation, go natural. If its dark water, you may want to make your bait more visible and put on a dark color underbelly, i cannot not vouch for this because ive never fished murky water.

[Central Bassman]

Well, i see you points about color not matter but i think the color of the bottom of the lure does matter sometimes. If you are fishing in bright sunny skis the color really won’t matter because it will be a black shadow under the bait. But when it’s cloudy or rain out, I think some times a bright bottom color lure will help get some reaction strikes and help the fish find the bait better.

Oh, didn't I tell you? I peed on your frog

[lookincalifornia]

i think color matters to the fisherman more than the fish. i get the most natural colors i can. in my simple mind, if it looks like a real frog, i can make it act like a real frog. i would have a hard time believeing in a crazy colored frog.
