Ok, I am having a lot of Bass rolling or swiping at frogs and not eating them. I have changed the size, color, style and presentation still running into the same thing. However when they do eat it, it's like a Grate White shark eating a seal! Any advice?


Do something different, you will be surprised what happens.

Follow up with a weightless Fluke in a similar color. Treat it just like a missed blowup.

Have a weightless Senko on stand-by when frog fishing. When they roll or swipe many times they'll take a follow-up if they are trying to "kill it" before eating.

Apparently Mark was thinking and typing at the same time as I...

That's what i have been doing. If they wont eat the frog after 2 attempts i will throw a Fluke or craw style and get them. The odd thing is i have been fishing for about 30 years and never had so many bass just "have a look".

Could be fry guarders just trying to shoo away an invader.

Agreed. You might try this. if they roll on a light colored frog throw a dark one in right behind it. If they won't go on that throw a weightless WM Fluke in there

Some of them could be spotted gar. like others said, fluke, senko, or jig for me if the miss it multiple times. Also, if you know they missed itโ€ฆ. Let it sit for a while longer. Sometimes they will ingulf it within 5sec later

I was talking to an old buddy of mine and he gave me a tip, gave it a shot over the past few days. Will it seems to have worked.
Stick a 1/16th or 1/8th oz weight in the frog to make it stand up in the water (more butt down) it also makes the frog kinda jump when you give it a tug.
