I like the STP foam frog

I also messed around with these for a while...lots of fun to tie, but not something you want to sit down and tie 10 dozen of:

there's nothing wrong with that fly, just tie in longer front legs, but not as long as the rear ones

looks like a great simple pattern. I was wondering what size hooks work the best with these templates, for the large, medium and mini templates. it doesn't really specify the hook size to use with the templates.

 

thx's

To tie this pattern, The STP® Frog Foam Body in three sizes: 2, 6 and 10 (using Tiemco® 8089 or equivalent hooks)

 

I know the TMC hooks are sized accordingly, but the Daiichi stinger hooks are different sizes and I'm not exactlly clear which ones would fit the templates

I tied up a few of the STP frogs a couple years ago. I think Norman pointed me to the template. Thanks Norm. I found I didn't like fishing them. They always wanted to land bottom up. Any remedy for this? The frogs didn't go to waste though. My wife and daughters thought they were "cute", and promptly stole all of them from my fly box. I think there is still one stuck in my oldest's cork board in her room.
