Soft Lure Spro Bronzeye Frog 65

Our take on the Bronzeye Frog 65

This is a hollow body frog that has held its ground for more than twenty years, and we get why. It lands on its belly, it walks with a few short rod twitches and it casts far. For us, it's THE frog to keep in the box for largemouth bass and pike!

A hollow body frog that walks, from weed mats to open water

A hollow body and a double hook for heavy cover

The Bronzeye Frog 65 is a 65 mm hollow body frog, signed by Dean Rojas. It is weighted to land on its belly, cast after cast. On impact the silicone legs spread out and it floats with its head slightly raised. If needed, a few short twitches flip it back upright.

The Gamakatsu EWG double hook (4/0) is already fitted, so there is nothing to add. You work it with short jerks (the famous "walk the dog"), or let it glide forward over a weed mat. And in open water? The manufacturer rates it for that too.

Largemouth bass and pike: where to throw it, and with what

You throw it for largemouth bass and pike, in weeds and vegetation mats. In tests, the best results came from open-water gaps, or along their edges.

As for gear, you need a rod that loads a frog this size, such as the WKS PPS66MH-XO 2.18 m (7 - 28 g). It is built for largemouth bass in heavy cover, and its real power sits closer to 10 - 35 g, enough for a frog like this one.

On the downside, expect to miss a few strikes, especially in dense vegetation. A small tip: pause briefly after the strike to feel the fish, then set the hook. And since it is a topwater lure, you won't use it to search mid-depth or the bottom.
