Tips to Better Frog Fishing

Hollow belly frogs are a great way to catch bass in shallow water, especially in the spring through fall months. 

They are weedless, so you can fish them through thick vegetation and heavy cover without getting hung up. And they make a significant disturbance on the water, which helps attract bass from a long way away.

To fish a hollow belly frog, you'll need a 7-foot medium-heavy to heavy power rod and  30-pound-plus braid line. You can use a spinning or a baitcasting, but a baitcaster is easier to control when you're fishing in thick vegetation or heavy cover.

The best way to fish a hollow belly frog is to pop or walk it along the surface of the water. This will create a disturbance that will attract bass. You can also let the frog sit for a few seconds before working it again giving the bass a chance to get a good idea of the frog’s exact location in the cover.

Hollow belly frogs can be fished in a variety of places, including lily pads, grass, around wood, along brush lines and docks. They are especially effective in areas where there is a lot of cover.

Even though many anglers feel the best place to fish frogs is around and over some type of vegetation, there are other situations where hollow belly frogs shine as pointed out in the following video…
