Mountainryan Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 Well guys here she is. The Bad Frog. Why Bad Frog? Look at it! Thing is baaad. 7†and between 3.5-4oz. It keeps changing as I add buoyancy. It’s made of super durable soft silicone so it will last like crazy. There is a single 2/0 stinger hook in each leg and a 2/0 body hook all weedless (and hand wrapped by me). There is a urethane plastic and wire harness inside the body which interlock with the legs and a pin drops through that into a welded owner hyper ring. That ring has a butterfly style 100lb braid harness which connect the the hooks. The legs are replaceable but I’m shooting for them to last the life of the bait. All the masters where sculpted by me which is why they are derpy. I’ve tested the harness to over 50lb of weight and no issues. I kept breaking my main line shock testing so I think that’s fine. The prototype legs are a bit skinny so I already resculped those. Ipleadthefish is testing a bait now as the water up here is frozen. No fish yet that I know of but he is really liking it. I’m calling it a swimbait as it kicks and swims like a frog and it’s definitely a big bait so if punkers count in the SU tourneys then this should! I can’t wait to throw it in the pads and watch it get choked. I call this one PEPTO fishinpunk, lendaCew, porkmeatballs and 11 others 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian C Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 Ooooooo I like it. How do you think that back hook will do? Also I like that it's derpy, Gives character. Mountainryan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountainryan Posted February 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 All three hooks are owner 2/0 wacky 3x. They are crazy strong. The rear body hook has a lot of movement so I think there will be enough leverage to bed it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfla Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 Cool frog!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ipleadthefish2 Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 You guys have to see this thing swim and better yet... Pause in the water... When it's swimming it does a dive just below the surface as it extends it's body forward and then pops it's head up as it pulls it's legs back up. When you pause it, the butt drops and the legs relax and dangel... Ryan, great work! I can't wait to stick a piggy on it! Guaranteed to happen! bassbass and Mountainryan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rear body hook has a lot of movement so I think there will be enough leverage to bed it out I more of meant with positioning. Do you think the body will get on the way of that hook? Idk just wondering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountainryan Posted March 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 Honesty Brian I don’t know! There is about a hook width of space so a rear strike will be no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
