atijigs Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 I am curious what the preferred method of rigging the Bears frog. We are still in the hard water season here in MN. so I can't test it out yet. I was hoping you guys could save me some time this spring. I have several poured up and have a couple of ideas but is there a specific rigging system that does not inhibit it's action or buoyancy ? I know a lot of frogs go with double hooks. I have those available too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saggitarius449 Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 How big is the frog?? I have the 4.5" and I use a 5/0 WG with a screw lock. The screw lock seems to help the nose of the frog and helps it last a lot longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB GONE Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 I will echo that set-up however I also add a bead on my line to help protect the nose of the frog even more. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesse1378 Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 (edited) i have the 3.5" frog. i have used 2/0 wide gap (fit perfectly in the groove) i have used the zoom 5/0 frog hook. it's a lil big. and i just bought the ribbit double hook. you have to put the hook points in the side of the body. i haven't made a cast with it yet. oh almost forgot. if you want to wake it instead of on top of the water. try using a 1/8 oz swimbait weighted hook. 4/0 or 5/0 Edited March 14, 2011 by jesse1378 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marks Lures Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 I am curious what the preferred method of rigging the Bears frog.

I have several poured up and have a couple of ideas but is there a specific rigging system that does not inhibit it's action or buoyancy ? I know a lot of frogs go with double hooks. I have those available too. I am not a "die-hard" frogger, I keep one around for fun in the weeds with a double hook. To make the nose last longer I soak it in WD40, most any solvent will dry it out and make a hard nosed plastic (only soak overnight, then wash with soap & water), think you are talking about a soft plastic here. I use a clothes pin to hold the soft plastic frog (or worm) on the side of the jar while soaking just to get the nose section hard.
