Snagproof Frog

Recommended Posts

Has anybody out there tried to make a Snagproof Frog using Plasti-Dip or anything similar? They are good lures but seem overpriced to me, plus you gotta love the challenge! Thanks.

snag proof frogs are not that hard to make. its a hollow frog but it still can be made pretty easy.

my first one I used a drop tank off a F4-u Corsair model for the hollow part.

heres what you do, make the mold out of anything pop / silicon etc.

then when thats all done, make something shape round and beveled for the hollow part., attach a thin piece of metal to the bottom, insert it into the bottom part of your mold and pour around it and over it. unless its a 2 pcs then pour through the nose.

when the plastic cools pull the insert out, it will leave a little slit which is no big deal, if you dont want the slit in it then take a hot knife and hold it in the slit to weld it up.

works like a charm been doing them for 4 years on hollow frogs and swimbaits.
