Introduction:
Snag Proof is still the
king of frogs, and while there are many new offerings from other brands more Pro
Anglers continue to turn to the proven performance of Snag Proof hollow bodied
frogs than any other. This season the company has expanded their offerings with
two new offerings designed to illicit more of those spectacular topwater
strikes.

Bobby's new
frog features a hybrid buzzbait design
Bobby’s Perfect Buzz:
Bobby Barrack knows frogs, and especially knows how to win with them out in the
West. This season he has added a blade on the front and paddle tails in the back
of his “Perfect Frog” hollow body to create the “Perfect Buzz.”

The back legs
feature paddle tails for even more splash on the surface
The Perfect Buzz features
a lightweight blade that makes it easy for the frog to get churning the second
it is retrieved and the “kickin’” paddle feet churn up extra water to call up
bass from below. This buzzfrog is designed to be fished with 50-65lb. braided
line alongside or right on top of heavy vegetation.

Inside the Perfect Buzz is
a glass rattle for extra noise and this frog features the same ITT (inner tube
technology) originally created for Ish’s Phat Frog to prevent water from
swamping the bait. To ensure solid hookups this 3/4oz. frog is armed with a
Gamakatsu hook and the bait will be available in six patterns which include
popular Black, White, Brown, and Sexy Frog.

Snag Proof is
also worked with B.A.S.S. Elite Series Angler Chris Lane to create the
Guntersville Frog
The Guntersville Frog:
Fishing Lake Guntersville is definitely on my bucket list, and the frog bite on
the lake is the stuff of legend. To target these monsters Snag Proof has created
the new “Guntersville Frog.” This bait features the same familiar profile but
with a design that incorporates some of the custom elements that anglers have
been using to doctor their frogs specifically for this lake.

Instead of
skirts for legs the Guntersville Frog has extra rattles on each side
The first thing you notice
on the frog is the absence of skirts for the legs, and in their place are a
rattle on either side. Pro Angler Chris Lane worked with Snag Proof on this
concept and the frog continues to perform well for him. The extra rattles put
out extra noise and vibration and behind them are two very short stubby plastic
legs which bring the target closer to the main body, this helps reduce short
strikes. Like other Snag Proof frogs the Chris Lane Guntersville Frog features a
soft collapsible body to expose a Gamakatsu EWG hook.

Like all Snag
Proof frogs the Guntersville Frog has a soft hollow body that exposes the hooks
Conclusion:
Both of the new frogs are now becoming available and are hitting retail and
e-tail stores. Bobby’s Perfect Buzz retails for just 50 cents more than the
standard version which is reasonable considering the extra hardware. Both new
frogs are designed to provide anglers with new ways to fish a very popular and
exciting style of bait. It only takes one massive blow up to make anglers Frog
Fishermen for life and it is good to see venerable players like Snag Proof
continuing to mix it up.
