Flipping The Frog

[Dan23]

I just read the article 'Flipping the Frog' in the latest fishing world an it sounds awesome! Has anyone tried it. basically it consists of using frog like lures, mainly plastics and hopping them across lillypads. Apparently Bass will come right up out of the water and smash you lure while it's still on the lillypad.

Where do you guys reckon I could try? I'm only thinking of Clarrie Hall Dam.

I tried to find some footage of this but I couldn't get anything.

Had a couple of frog plastics at lenthalls last time, didn't get a touch on them, same deal, cast onto the pads and \"hop it off\".

They were only el cheapo's that had come in the kids $10 \"tackle box and lure\" kits.

Here are some on Ebay if someone wants a few.

that guy that has the mobile barra tank that does lure demos sell's some. Have seen the action too looks just like a flog swimming through water was very impressed

Tried this a bit just now at Bangalow. Was using a River 2 Sea frog with lots of foam stuffed in it. Still sank:( Has a pretty crap action. I'll have to suss it out, I'm using a Gamakatsu G lock hook rigged weedless which works well though. If I can figure it out I'll be in for some fun. The Bruns river is like milk chocolate so it's fresh/brackish water fishing only down here now.
