buster gonads 862 Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Iam putting together a few lures that i can leave in our caravan as theres a small river and a canal i,d like to fish while there, both shallow and abit weedy, i,v been trying to get hold of one of those floating rubber frogs for surface work, it would need to take abit of weight to aid casting, maybe 8g - 10g, upto now i,v got 3 and they all sink with no weight, has anyone got one they can recommend or post a link to please, cheers.

Romans-14:2-3 4 Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Frogs are o.k but try floating soft shads,you can leave them still and they float head up like a dieing fish has blown its swim bladder very effective,the pike explode on them! There hard to get hold of in this country and there more used for largemouth bass and u.k bass,mind you I can get a normal 6 inch shad weightless and weedless to run subsurface on a slow retrieve with rod held high,works well.apart from that a good surface popper works well especially in running water,I use standard rapala X rap popper,or if pike are fussy a Megabass Anthrax which is easy the most effective sub and surface lure I own. 1 Quote Link to post

jonnie bravo 572 Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Not used many frogs, but had some success with buzzbaits, might be worth a shout? 1 Quote Link to post

mhopton 807 Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 Try a few floating plugs frogs are canny good for flying pike but it's frustrating as they don't always like to take them specially with the sun shines on the plus if the pike don't bite the chub will Quote Link to post
