 Don't do that. I ain't I don't do that. I Don't do that. Get no, I don't do that I don't do that What's going on YouTube family know it from kicking their bass TV here with another Tackle Tuesdays and This week's Tackle Tuesday is over top order frogs. I'm gonna jump in to the rod and reel setup the line And all the frogs where you would fish him how you would fish him So yeah, let's go ahead and jump into it. So when you open the box, there's really not too many different frogs out there There are a few different styles, but there's really not too much and it's pretty self-explanatory. So I Got a couple different brands in here. I got a couple different styles Um One style right here. I couldn't exactly tell you the brand of these Because I cannot exactly remember but these don't have those stringy tails on them. They're pretty rough like as you can tell right there Really soft frog. That's just a little different approach To look on your part I actually like in these these do have rattles in it which I really honestly do not think it's gonna make much of a Difference I'm gonna complete it completely up tell you right here With crank baits and like Carolina rig stuff that's under the water I really could see Rattles and beads and stuff like that making a difference, but when you're on top of the water I really don't think it's gonna make a big that big of a difference. You're already pretty much Making a ruckus with the frog anyways over the top of the surface and stuff So I want to see too much of a point in the rattles But that's just one style of frog that I have um I Have some popping frogs Which they do have their times Here's a couple of natural colors. They're they're a little different. This one's more light This one's on white on the bottom. This is more yellow This one has some brown and some dark green. This one has some light green and white and yellow and so When would I use a popping frog? compared to like The normal frog like this Sometimes the fish want want that racket. They want Something to really piss them off. They're not exactly pissed them off, but just to attract them And that's pretty much what I would use this so one day. They're gonna be hitting this one The next day. They may want this one better Also, I really like throwing a popping frog and more of open lily pads Right now when we're at you follow the lily pads were more they were more open I hate you follow by the way the lily pads were more open. They weren't as big And you could throw something like this popping frog in there And get it to pop a lot more water if you're in those really really really thick lily pads I would more recommend just a normal frog like this It would go through it way easier and if you're going on top of the lily pads anyways of this You're not over water. It's not popping anything. I mean, you're just gonna be sitting there dragging it across Also, I've had a lily pad in front of me. I would show you but next time you're on a lake where there's lily pads Pick one up and what I mean, they're pretty tough They're hard to break and stuff but pick one pick one out of the water If you go look at my post on Instagram my post of one Lay your hand on top and tip it over you can legitimately see your hand They're pretty much see-through, but you see you see the object or your hand in black and white So next time that's something you can do so When you're running that frog over the lily pad, they're seeing that so what I usually like to do Just another quick tip is when I throw the frog out there. I'm working it I'm working in those open water spaces. I'm walking it or I'm just hopping it however I'm doing it and get over that lily pad. I may pause it for a second. I'll just stop it and Every once in a while that fish will come up and just boom right right through that lily pad Every once in a while it'll be under there You're just staring at it and it's waiting for it to hop off So you can just pause that thing And wait a few seconds and then slowly work that thing off the lily pad Usually when you get to the edge of that water right there That's when the fish will just crush it so they can see through those lily pads. So don't overthink that Don't overlook that don't just be going over it and thinking a fish won't hit it I mean when you're on the lily pad Everyone so I if you pause that thing they will come up and just launch that thing So yeah, that's pretty much what I would use Popping frog regular frog. I'm just depending on how open the lily pads are and such Also, if you're fishing grass, you can fish both pretty much and they're both pretty weedless Same range. There's another one of those. It's just a bigger size. It's in yellow and going into color I normally don't throw too many of these natural colors the yellow the the green the bright colors like that. I mostly stick to something White or black And for the most part Here you go, you got you got a white one right here. I believe this one's by jackal The bottom's white You got you got a black spur right here By the way, this is the one I was using in the pond video for all you guys have been asking This is a spro. It's just black and white mixture pretty good-looking frog That one's black on the bottom has a little bit of white, but it's not gonna make that much of a difference This one has white as well But when you pick up this colored one right here I mean this one's white too. It's green on the top. I mean That's the same thing guys. They're seeing under the frog. They're not seeing on top So I really like to stick to the black and the white. It's just simple as it gets I don't think it makes that much of a difference They could be hidden the black better than the white, but that's pretty much the clothes that I stick to So there's some spro ones right there got a jackal one. Also, this is a little different It's called a bonsai. I believe it's kind of bonsai shad by spro And as you can see Those strings are coming off totally different. They're not they're not to the side They're straight up and down And this is pretty much Imitating like those shad so there's a shad spawn on the edge of those lily pads and stuff Or those fish are chasing shad. This is really good You can walk the dog like walking the dog like with a spook and stuff You can walk the dog much easier with this fra with this bonsai shad Much easier than you would with the frog It may take a while to get used to I can do it But you just got to fool around with it when you're working the frog But you can really make it go back and forth like you're working like a spook or something But this one you can work a lot quicker and you can walk the dog much easier with it's pretty neat I actually really like that color Really soft frog Frog shad whatever you want to call it Here's another black frog It's got a little bit of yellow. I want to worry about that too much My top favorites on frog brands would probably be spro and then some of the jack ones are good as well Spray you can't go wrong with on they are a little pricey, but you cannot get wrong with it Here's something that you guys probably had never seen and you're looking at that thing like what in the world is going on That's one funky looking bait. Yeah, I know What we got going on here So you're um throwing those buzz baits early in the morning and you're trying to get that early top water bite And sometimes when you're throwing that buzz bait It gets stuck on those lily pads Usually don't have too bad of a problem with it because we're throwing through the cracks of the lily pads just getting it through there But this is a really great idea This has the buzz bait blade the frog like body and Also, just like a soft water plastic Or Plastic frog it has the paddled legs So I mean you're getting all three baits in one and you can throw this up in the lily pads And I wish I could tell you The brand of this because I know you guys are gonna be asking after seeing this But you can pretty much throw this back there and it's pretty much weedless I mean the hooks are on top just like a normal frog and you can pretty much just reel it across It's a great idea. Definitely go check it out It's a pretty cool idea that you did I'm surprised spro and then how it came out with something like that Here's another black one's got some purple. I actually like that one a lot. This one walks really good That's a jackpot You got some big mama big mama honka-donka right here That's a big problem. We only have one of these I honestly do not know why we have that frog I mean compared to normal frog Ridiculous You know, I do why? Um, I Believe that is all the styles. I have a few more brains There's a sprue. I like that one a lot. I want a little see-through. God this looks a shirt So that was a little see-through It's brown pretty much the dark colors brown white black. I mostly stick the black and white though There's another black one. I mean as you can tell you can still see the breed on there That's the one that mostly just use I believe that's all the frogs guys Here's here's a white one and that buzz bait looking one Definitely look into that. It's a great idea Another one right there. Oh Except it came off or I think we took that off. Um Well, yeah guys, that's pretty much all the styles of frogs Um, we just have all different colors in there We have plenty of frogs and we do not get the fish frogs a lot, which I really don't like I really like fishing frogs. I can't really go on linear and go through a frog We're saying you're sitting you're sitting your boat in 30 foot of water and throwing over brush piles I'm not gonna throw a frog out there. I mean throw it up shallow and stuff But I'm not shallow water fisherman to be honest. I'm mostly out of deep especially on linear but I really enjoy throwing frogs and I know you guys do too With the pond fishing videos. Um, if you ever go to a pond, definitely go through a frog. Um, you'll be amazed. It's pretty fun. Um, I Guess they're just not used to seeing that Little just crushes amazing. Um, just go through a frog I gotta say I was throwing that um black and white one in that pond video Actually, I have one tied on my poor it there. Um, just that regular one. It's really good one any black any white really good I'm starting at the pond. They're killing it today is Tuesday for tackle Tuesday Wednesday Thursday, I'm probably gonna be filming a pond video So that's gonna be a lot of fun. I know you guys love those vlog like pond videos So definitely stay tuned for that. I'm gonna be trying to get tons of videos out to you guys as you guys already know So let's go ahead and stop talking about that I'll get to that at the end of the video Let's go ahead and go over the rotting reel combo that I use for my frog This is a mojo bass swim bait rod It's a really really really really tough rod and it is a swim bait rod. I mean I use it for my frog My dad just got here. He's over there taking a Shmedley now serious So mojo bass swim bait rod and this is a seven nine heavy-power fast action, but it is a meat stick I mean it's It's tough rod Really really really really cheap rods around or inexpensive. I guess I could say rod Around $100 so it's really affordable a really great rod and the reason why I'm using a mojo bass rather than like a legend extreme Is you really don't have to go out there and spend all that money on a rod for top water to be completely honest with you? If I was using a jig or if I was using a worm if I was using a fish-headed if I was using a spinner bait Crank bait something like that. I would want a rod with the sensitivity But I'm picking out this mojo bass For the fact that I don't need as much sensitivity so I can get a great rod and a decent price So definitely go check out the mojo bass series rods are really great rods really reasonable price and you can get them As synchro rods calm the reel is a Abu Garcia Revo rocket And this is a nine-to-one gear ratio reel. This is really fast And why don't have that nine-to-one gear ratio reel when I'm throwing that frog and I'm throwing it up In those lily pads. I'm not I'm not talking about like the ponds and stuff But I'm throwing them up in those lily pads like I you follow and stuff and When those fish hit it or if I'm throwing in grass when those fish hit it They can take off in that grass and you you want to get them out of there as fast as possible That's the reason why I have this big old meat stick of a rod And that nine gear ratio reel is really gonna help you huff that fish out of the pads It's not gonna get stuck you're not gonna have a problem with it And this is I'm 65 pound braid spider wire really recommended cheap stuff And it lasts a while a while so and that's the frog I was using in the pond video Just like I showed you over there. I have a couple of them. It's black and white Standard one. So if you guys are pond fishing definitely go try a frog And also this past weekend. We're at you follow. We vlog the whole thing and it's pretty dang funny vlog You should be cocking now If you watch the vlog, you know what that means all right, but um At the end of this video, I'll throw up a few links of the vlog There's part one and part two so definitely check it out start off with part one and it with part two You're definitely gonna want to watch the whole video already.
