lm22 Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 I am thinking about making a top water hard bodied frog out of balsa wood. My plan is to cut a rough profile on the band saw, shape and sand, and then cut a slot and add a 3/0 or 4/0 worm hook on the back. I am trying to get a walking action out of this bait. Should I add more weight to the back of the frog or a small amount to the front to balance it out a little bit? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Guy Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 General guide line on walking baits is to place the weight back 2/3 of the body length. Assuming you’re going to have the hook facing upwards the ballast will also help the bait land and remain oriented the correct way. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
