A good friend of mine from Indiana brought me some primo Northern Whitetail deer hair. The brown is really good body hair and the white belly hair. Good stuff..

I'll say, now George you know you can't possibly use all that Roof, I normally don't post photos of flies before tested but here's an example of this processed hair - tied UDF bug with Boss legs that should work. Wanna trade some hair?    I have more photos of processed hair if I can find them. The belly deer hair is white and I dyed some of it supposedly dark green - it turned out light color but is OK. G/

That looks frogalicious to me, George. Do you think you'll need to pack the hair a bit tighter towards the head to counteract it sinking more when the hair gets wet?

Dusty, this was a quick and dirty prototype to determine flotation - I'm was more concerned with long enough hair for weedless effect, and the hair is long enough for a 3/0 jig hook.
The problem is not with the stacked hair but the weight of the BOSS frog legs. They at are too heavy at ~25 grains and I had to cut them back and still too heavy to balance out right.
I won't be using them but your spinner bait skirt material is best IMO.
Lookin' forward to topwater bass - thanks for all your help on a great bass bug.
George

I'm looking forward to it as well, George. I hate that the legs are too heavy, they looked really cool.
