three bluegill frogs Two only

Awesome!.. Ive been wanting to do this, but didnt think it would work (the hook set up i mean)

The magnet is a great idea!... Once its triggered, is there enough hook exposed to grab some mouth??

Great job..love the ingenuity!!..Nathan

Clever boy! Now if you just add some spring loaded jaws and harpoons with tasers attached ...

Very nice Mark.  Those look great and I've seen a previous model and yes plenty of hook gets exposed for Mr. Bass.

Thanks guys.

Once I figured out that a strong magnet worked, the rest was easy.  Building out of PVC and using Solarez makes the building process easy and fun.  I love being able to make a bait and fish it the same day, if I want to.

If the wind lays down, I hope to feed them to a couple of bass tomorrow.

Awesome job Mark, thinking way outside the box, love the body style, guaranty ain't no fish ever seen those baits, good job all the way around.

Again, thanks.  Neither of them got bit today, but it was tough bite for everyone.

Rad!!!! Mark this is insane! Well done! 

Fantastic work there love it

Very cool Mark! I like that a lot

Mark I  was just wondering after all this time how these have worked for you?, I  was wanting to do a similar thing and its all above durability and how the hook up percentage is...thanks

 

I have to set the hook quicker with the hard frogs, because the fish feel the hardness when they bite, and they spit more quickly than with a hollow body frog.

But they also hook themselves more than with a hollow body frog, because the hook point is at the rear, and the pressure of the bite forces the hook up into the roof of their mouth.

Once they bite it, they stay pegged.

Hookup ratio is a little better than with a hollow body frog, because they are heavy enough that they don't get blown up into the air on the strike.
