My Folded foam popper tied froggie style.

 

I call it Frog Pajamas.

 

 

Here is a SBS about my folded foam popper:

With the high profile face, it should certainly push a lot of water! Not sure about the marabou legs, but then again, I have never tied them....fish it and report on your findings! Bet that thing has a crazy pop!

Oh it produces. I have been tinkering with this pattern for nearly seven years now. It is really in it's fifth or sixth evolutionary form. I have added rattles to it and done different tails. I like the frog legs the best, but I do feathers and bait fish imitations. I've done salamander and snake imitations on the same technique too. The Marabou legs do nicely. The joint is a simple over hand knot sealed with a generous dollop of cement. and the are splayed apart with a chenille ball tied in the frog's, ummm.... butt region. They flap and kick nicely.

 

No it don't pop too much. It rides high, so it is more of a chuger or a gurgler.

No pop? Huh? Was certain that flat face would pop at leaset a little. So it pushes water instead....bet it's great displacement. Gonna hafta give this pattern a serious look for this summer!

Very innovative pattern! :headbang:

To make it pop just add 4 - 5 wraps of lead or lead free to the front part of the shank. Or add a strip of foam to the bottom. I'll post a pic of one with a strip that pops more when I can find the camera. The key to getting it to pop is to have abottom lip or have the front end ride down in the film more.

OK Here is the popping one. I call this color combo the Electric Frog Pajamas.

 

You can clearly see the strip that is tied onto the bottom. The little bit of lip that it provides is just enough to pull the face into the water surface and make it go POP.

Very cool tie....gonna hafta try this one, man...really diggin' it! I love the "Jerry Garcia" paint job.....maybe you should have called this one "Dancing Frog"? Very cool looking pattern, though!

Try corded material with a piece of zonker tied into the tip for a tail. Makes a great lizard or snake pattern. Or some marabou or bucktail for a flopping dying bait fish pattern.
