Frog Fishing For Bass! Everything You Need To Know!

Frog fishing is some of the craziest topwater action you'll ever experience! The way a bass comes through cover to ambush a frog is unlike anything else in fishing! Knowing how to get those bites however, is a skill set that many anglers lack. Today we're covering everything you need to know about fishing hollow body frogs so you can get in on the fun!

With all the frog designs on the market it's hard to understand what they're all for, let alone which ones are worth the time and effort! Some frogs have amazing action and a great hookup ratio, while others will get bit but it's hard to hook the bass. Sorting through all the different frogs is overwhelming, but we've done all the leg work so you can enjoy the results. In today's video Tim separates frogs into different categories, explains what each category is for, and shows his favorite baits for each scenario.

Below you'll find links to the exact frogs discussed in the video. We've sorted them by style, and included our favorite colors for each. We've also included our favorite frog rods and gear to help you be successful. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Best Baits For Shore Fishing! (Catching Fish In A New Pond)

Are you a shore angler? This one is for you! From ponds to reservoirs, bank fishermen have a different set of challenges than boaters. Today, Tim takes his daughter to explore a new pond. They catch fish from the first cast, and along the way Tim explains his bait selection and how to approach the water from the bank.

If you've spent any time fishing ponds you know they're just as diverse as larger lakes. Some are shallow, others are deep. Some have clear water while others are muddy. Despite all these differences, there are key baits that work in nearly every pond, every time. You can carry whole tackle boxes, but at the end of the day, one of these baits is how you'll catch most of your fish!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits the duo used throughout their time on the water. We've included the exact colors and sizes for each, along with the rods and reels they used to fish these baits effectively.
