Empty-Pee0204 0 Report post Posted April 26, 2006 :yahoo: This is my first attempt at a frog popper. I used a cork on a 1/0 bait hook, green spray paint, 15 lbs test for the weed guard. The legs are green with black neck hackles. I bet this will catch something more than bait. I will let y'all know in the next few weeks. :yahoo: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted April 26, 2006 Not bad man, that will fish. One suggestion. Try coating the cork with epoxy after painting, it will help make it more durable and will float better and longer. Be sure to give us a report! :headbang: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
