Can You Power Fish with Frogs?

Yes, of course you can power fish for bass using hollow belly frogs. 

In fact, it can be an effective way to catch big bass, especially during the warmer months when fishing mats of thick vegetation. To effectively power fish with a hollow belly frog, you will need a heavy power, fast action rod and a quality matching reel with a good drag and spooled with 50-60 pound test braided line. Next pick a heavier frog model that depresses the mat and makes it easier for the bass to eat it.

When fishing directly across the matted vegetation, cast the frog out into the mat and let it sit for a few seconds. Then, start retrieving the frog with a steady, moderate to slow retrieve while on top of the mat. This helps the bass located the bait through the canopy of vegetation between it and the frog.

Anytime the frog crosses an open water hole, spped up the retrieve and impart some hard twitches. This will cause the frog to make a popping sound as it moves across the open water, attracting the attention of bass. If you feel a bass hit the frog, set the hook hard and reel the fish in quickly before it buries in the weeds and works itself free.
