A Frog by Any Other Name Would Fight as Hard

Total Score: 7.58 - GOOD

Introduction: It's a pretty well known fact that the favorite bait of BASS Elite Series angler Dean Rojas is the frog. Case in point? With no less than six (6) topwater frog baits to his name you can bet a good percentage of the time when asked, "Hey Dean, what did you catch them on?" that the answer will be "a frog!" However, there's one "frog" bait with his name on it that will make you think twice when hearing that answer. Here's our look at the Dean Rojas Fighting Frog by Big Bite Baits.

Performance: For testing purposes I did fish all three sizes settling mostly upon the four inch (4"). As with most soft plastic baits, the style and ease of rigging is limited only by your own imagination. For me, when it comes to trailer style baits, I'm actually very unimaginative choosing to fish baits like this tipped at the end of a jig, on a weighted hook, or rigged Texas style on either on a punch rig or traditional bullet weight and hook.

Flip it over for the creature like ridges and a channel to facilitate rigging.

Big Bite Baits does incorporate a hook channel down the middle of the bait to help conceal the hook point and give you less soft plastic mass to push the hook through during a set. Additionally, the legs on each Fighting Frog come detached, so there are no decisions to be made as to whether or not you should split the legs or keep them together.

The transition between top and bottom is very creature-like.

The Fighting Frog's legs or claws, you choose.
