How to Rig Them:

• Texas Rig (Weightless): Rig it weedless for fishing over heavy cover like lily pads, grass mats, or submerged vegetation.
• Screw-Lock Swimbait Hook: Use a hook with a belly weight to help keep the frog upright during retrieval and enhance the paddling motion.
• Double Hook Frog Rig: Pair it with a double hook system for better hookup ratios, especially in heavy cover.
• Buzzbait Trailer: Attach it to a buzzbait for added noise and surface disturbance.

The Buzz Frog imitates a live frog skimming across the surface, a prime meal for hungry bass. It also mimics small mammals, distressed baitfish, or even insects that disturb the water, making it versatile enough to trigger strikes from bass in a variety of feeding modes.

How to Fish It:

• Steady Retrieve: Cast it out and reel it back at a steady pace to create a continuous splash and commotion. This works great over grass flats or around pads where bass ambush prey.
• Stop-and-Go: Pause your retrieve occasionally to mimic a frog resting or hesitating. The sudden stops often trigger reaction strikes.
• Skipping: Use the weightless rig to skip the bait into hard-to-reach spots under docks, overhangs, or into tight cover where bass like to hide.
• Burn It: Retrieve the frog quickly across open water to imitate a panicked prey fleeing from predators.
• Target Casting: Cast near structure like logs, stumps, or weed edges, and let the splash grab a bass’s attention before starting your retrieve.
