i take about an inch off each one. I prefer the scumfrog over these. I just cant get used to them. they dont seem natural-looking to me (or at least not as much as the scum frog).

Yep me too. I caught a bunch on frogs yesterday and even broke two scum frogs.

i agree with ronnie,the scums are way better and half the price. but you should buy at least 2 anyway cause the bass will destroy it.

yes the scum frogs are cheap! but once they tear out the skirt, you can put a wieght and superglue it in there.. T. Horton showed this trick on a cable show. he uses the wieghted-butt frog in heavy hydrilla mats to move more water...so the bass can key in on the bait better.

I have never trimed the legs but I have had bass rip half of one off and after that the frog would "walk the dog" or zig zag back to me. You have to hold the rod tip high though.

Spro is the best frog on the market imo. I have used all of them and it has the best hookup ratio and hold up the best of anything i have thrown. I am a tournament fisherman and hookup ratio is most important for me. We start throwing them here around mid march in flooded willows and trees. About may we throw it in peppergrass and flooded haygrass or johnson grass. By early june the pads are thick enough to fish and it is not until about mid october that we put them down.

Saw a show were Dean cut about an inch off 1 side, leaving the other at full length. Said that helped it walk better. He also took a magic marker and put little squiggly lines on the belly.

I know this was about trimming the legs and yes I have tried this and it does seem to help both on the Spro and the R2S frogs. But if you want to try a frog that works like the ole Jitterbug. And you can pop it too. Try the Deps Basirisky Frog.

I love the spro frog, in fact only frog I feel I can hook up with. I don't trim the legs but reading all these I may have to try it.

How are y'all keeping water from filling up the Spro frog? Seems like it is good for a few casts, then you have to squeeze them to get water out.

Loc: azle tx,
I usually take about an inch of One side, this will cause it to walk a wider path.
