Hollow-bodied frog fishing for largemouth bass

Fishing frogs has long been associated with lily pads and thick grass mats, which are prime places to use the frog, but the hollow bodied frog also is a great choice for fishing docks and shallow flats. Look for high percentage areas like log jams in lily pads or independent vegetation in shallow waters. Jackall has 2 hollow-bodied frogs, the Iobee and the Gavacho. The Iobee works best in heavy cover, has a subtle walking action and is made with very soft rubber to give you the best hook-ups. The Gavacho shines in sparse or off-colored water because it has a larger profile, and the popping mouth displaces more water. Recommended Shimano tackle for frogging: The Shimano Zodias 7’5” heavy power, is one of the best frogging rods around. It is lightweight to work frogs with less effort yet has the power to pull even the largest of fish from the heaviest cover. The Shimano Chronarch MGL HG is a reel that can cast frogs a long distance effortlessly and has sturdy HAGANE gears that will hold up to the abuse of fishing in heavy cover. PowerPro Maxcuatro in 65- to 80-pound test has a thinner diameter than regular PowerPro, which will increase your casting distance––plus, you wont have to worry about line breakage.
