Different Types of Frog Lures

When it comes to fishing frogs for bass, you’re limited to two different types. You’ve got standard skirting frogs that will navigate through the weediest bodies of water, and these come in both hollow bodies and soft bodies. You also have poppers that you’ll want to reserve more for open topwater fishing.

Let’s break down each style so you understand them.

Hollow Body Frogs
These frogs are essentially what they sound like. These frogs have a soft rubber mold made into the shape of a frog, and they usually have two hooks wrapped around the rear of the lure, pointing towards the front.

They’re designed this way because they’re meant to be weedless. This means you can run through the sloppiest of water without catching and bringing a ton of weeds with you.

When you try to fish other types of lures like spinnerbaits, crankbaits, or jigs in heavy vegetation, you grab a ton of slop and pull it. This not only makes you wonder if there’s a fish at the end, but it completely screws up your presentation and ensures that a fish will never bite.

Much of the time, hollow-body frogs will also come with realistic lifelike legs. These are great because they provide a natural motion and look exactly like a frog would if it was moving through the water.

Soft Body Frogs
These are usually weedless as well, but instead of realistic legs, they come with two skirts at the end, which intend to mimic the legs. They look more like a tail, and they create a lot of noise in the water, which is what entices the bass to bite. You’ll find that a lot of crankbaits and topwater poppers will also take on this appearance, so you want to make sure you have the right lure.

One way you can always tell a soft body frog from a crankbait is by the weight. These are topwater lures that rely entirely on you to create the presentation, so they’re always light. Most frog lures won’t even weigh in at one ounce, and crankbaits are much heavier so they can dive into the water.

Frog Poppers

If you want to diversify your tackle box, you’ll want to keep a few of these in there as well. You might find that the once weed-ridden lake you like to fish has cleared up a bit, or the water levels have risen, and now you’re not dealing with as much heavy cover. When this happens, you can switch over to your poppers and enjoy a feeding frenzy.

The big difference between poppers and traditional frogs is the noise they make and the fishing application. These are not weedless, and they usually have a hook that sticks right out, so you don’t want to fish them in sloppy water.

Instead, you’ll want to fish frog poppers in open water because they make a loud pop sound when they hit the water, and they create a bubble trail behind you as you retrieve them. If you’re rolling through a ton of pads and other green, you won’t be able to develop the right presentation, and chances are you’ll come back with nothing more than a hook full of crap.

Best Bass Frog Lure Colors
Choosing the right frog color for bass is simple, and I always stick to the same story no matter what type of lure you’re using. First, you want to mimic your surroundings. If you can see some frogs around or if you’re familiar with the area, you want to choose colors that look like the frogs around you.

Second, pay attention to the season and remember that these types of lures work best in the dead of summer when it’s hot. Winter fishing requires different strategies. That said, choose a color that mimics the day around you. If it’s cloudy and overcast, the bass are probably feeling “cloudy” as well, so they’re not into striking hard and chasing the lure very far. Go with something a bit smaller and more neutral in color.

If it’s a hot July morning and it’s already 75-80 degrees, and the sun is beating down on you, chances are the bass are feeding heavily. When this happens, you want to entice them as much as you can. Use a bright color and make as much noise as you can with the lure to get them going.
