How to Walk a Frog

Hi, my name is Gene Jensen, and I'm with Bassresource.com. And a lot of the guys on the website and also on my YouTube channel have been asking me about how to walk a frog. What I have here is I have a Spro Bronze Eye Frog and it's in green pumpkin, and I've trimmed one inch off of each of the legs. I haven't made one longer than the other; I like them the same. And when you're walking a frog it's a lot like a Spook. Okay. And I'm going to try to compare the two. With a frog it's like a micro version of Spook. Okay. When you're walking a Spook your rod tip is moving about this far, you're walking a frog it's moving about this far, okay? The braid I'm using is 60 pound Fins braid. It's my favorite. It's smooth, it's round and I've had this on my line for almost a year and I haven't had a problem with it since I put it on. But so the trick to walking a frog is not really a trick it's just a matter of practice. You cast it out and you go from a slack line to a pop back to a slack line to a pop. Just like this, slack, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. So it's pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. Just like that. And just keep going back to a slack line. If you don't go back to a slack line or you're going to be doing is reeling it in straight and it's just going to be chugging, okay? Now. That's all it is. Just throw it out. Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. I start slow and then I get a little bit faster. Once I get it going back and forth, okay? Now with a Spook I'll show you the difference. I've got here a clear Super Spook Junior. My favorite Clarks Hill bait anyway. And you make your cast out, and it's a bigger pop. It's a pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. Just like that. And it's quite a bit more of a distance with your pop with a Spook then you do with a frog. A frog because you're only jerking a frog this far, it's pop, pop, pop. And a Spook's going bloong, bloong, bloong, bloong. And the key to frog fishing and walking a frog is practice. Take what you've learned here, take it out on the water and practice for a long time and eventually you'll get it. It's not hard. You'll be asking yourself why did I think it was so hard once you get it down. But just practice. Use good equipment, use good line. Go out, have some fun catching top water. Enjoy your time on the water and as always visit Bassresource.com for any of your questions for bass fishing. It's full of information.
