3 New Frog Fishing Tricks To Catch More FIsh!

- Come along for an evening of frog fishing and learn new tricks to put more frog fish in the boat! Matt and Tim spend most of the year with a frog rod in their hands and they've learned a ton of tricks along the way. Tonight Matt is giving up 3 tips that will completely change your frog fishing. Whether you've struggled to land your fish or maybe you'd just like to get some more bites, this video was made for you!
Matt's first tip to improve you frogging is to explore your opportunities in open water. If you frog heavy cover and slop, its time to branch out and fish away from the cover. The majority of our really big frog fish come in open water.
The second tip is to make sure you're using the right rod and the right frog. While that seems simple on the surface what Matt is actually recommending is that if you're struggling to hook or land frog fish, it might be time to look at a softer rod and a smaller frog with lighter wire hooks. By dropping down in power, you'll have time to build up speed in your hookset before connecting with the fish. This is especially important for smaller or younger anglers who don't have the power to smash hookset after hookset.
The final tip is to branch out and try new frogs. Fish become conditioned to frogs just like they become conditioned to other baits. By changing profile, action, or in some cases sound, you can catch a lot more fish. Below is a breakdown of the frogs we recommend trying, as well as the gear we'd use to fish those baits.

The Bob Ross of bass fishing! My favorite CZcams channel. Thanks for all you and Tim do for the fishermen out here.
Agreed for sure!
Bob Ross! Hilarious!!!
LOL! Thank you
We don’t miss fish here we have happy little quick releases
C&c
Thank you, Matt! Without a doubt the most informative fishing channel out there.
Matt Allen is a CZcams God amongst men. Not only is the advice great, but he explains thing clearly and concisely. This video is just another amazing addition to the Tactical Bassin library. Thanks Matt, please keep em coming
Dude! By far, the best Frog video out there. Thank you so much. I am that kind of person. I like to go in a different direction most times than everyone else. I just started using frogs literally last week. My friend said try it and I did. I got bit and oh my ! I am addicted to using frogs. Again, thanks for the video. I'm gonna watch your other ones and look at the frogs you suggested. God bless
Y'all have helped me improve on froggin' so much! I accidentally trimmed one of the legs shorter than the other, but it seems to help me walk the frog much easier.
Thank you Matt,WOW did you just cover EVERYTHING 👍👍 ,I use to throw a frog a lot and just fell away from it,bit it's time to bring it back 👊👊👍👍
I caught my first three on frogs a couple of weeks ago and it's my favorite way to fish now. My son got his first too and it was the biggest of the day. I'm addicted for sure.
As this is my first year taking fishing seriously, you guys have given me a lot of great tips and tricks! Love the frog tips especially! Thank you for resparking my love for fishing!
Great Vidoe like usual! You guys are honestly the best fishing channel on CZcams. I've recently fell in love with frog fishing the past few months and I've learned so much from you guys. Keep up the great stuff!!
Matt. Dude i could sit and listen to you all day long. You get me so interested in your story on what ever you are trying to get across that it is just amazing. I mean really. I have never just watched half of your vlogs. And Thank you...
You guys have definitely gave my frogging game a huge boost !! It's became my favorite style of fishing by far 🎣
Definitely the most informative fishing channel out there. I watch every video you guys publish and have never been disappointed in the content. I have learned so much from you both. I love seeing you guys fish with family sometimes since they are the most important people in our lives. Also love the friendship you guys have as true friends are a close second right behind family.
And they don't have to make dumb clickbait titles for their videos or do dumb things just to get views...just straight fishing facts and a wealth of information.
Most EXCELLENT advice on equipment matching for the person, not just the type of fishing.
Your video got me amped yesterday went out on my kayak and nailed a handful of fish got one really nice 6 pounder all on a scum frog love it thanks for getting me motivated
I just tried the Gavacho out here in AZ last week, and that thing just flat out works. Thanks guys for all the tips.
Frogging is my favorite way to catch bass nothing like seeing a frog get smashed. Love it
Really appreciate the time that you and Tim take to make fishing tips for every fisherman that watches your channel!! 👊🏼 💪
Got my first 3 on a Walmart frog today. So dang fun. Great video Matt, keep me coming!!!
Caught my pb frog fish yesterday after watching this video!!! 4-7 blew up where current met the still water of a lake. Tacticalbassin is the best on CZcams! Thanks for all the tips!
I appreciate your tips!! Im a smaller guy and made the adjustments with rod and line and went from 0-4 to 3-3 the next weekend. Awesome content that is on point 🔥
“Wouldn’t it be nice to catch one together?” Lmao! The Mister Rogers of Froggin... I’m dyin here.
Great stuff as always. Frog is by a long way my favorite way to fish and I never go out without a dedicated frog setup on my kayak.
Using a 7’ heavy for me is the way to go. Big guy but I think the kayak makes the heavy work better for hookset than an X.
Hahaha I was about to make the same comment about Mr Roger's lol
Tim, the best bass fishing teacher I know!
I have never fished a frog. My buddy just gave me one. I haven't even looked at it much. I'm off with another friend tomorrow to a lake known for big bass in NC. I can't wait to try what I have learned here. My thanks to you and Tim for your videos.
Thanks for all your time and effort you and Tim put into the videos, It’s also great to see the channel grow you guys deserve every bit of success you get. Maybe one day I’ll get to meet you guys!
Great video! I've definitely learned a lot and improved a lot with frog fishing because of your videos. Yesterday evening I went on a body of water where a lot of guys throw frogs, but all from bass boats or the bank. Being a kayak angler has its perks! I found a 6 inch deep channel that went on for a good 100' that opened up to a semi open water Lily pad field that was untouched by anglers. It was like stepping or paddling into another world. Got on some big bass, got some beautiful photos, and some cool slow motion release footage.
You and Tim should get those kayaks out more. See if there are places that only small watercraft can get you into that no one else can get to. You may just find a hidden Oasis inside of a heavily fished body of water like I did. Thank you again for all the informative videos! Tight lines 🎣
I learned about the Gavacho frog from you two and I've caught a lot of bass on it. Thank you!
Man u deserve every bit of what "success" you've gained,. It's because you've always stayed your humble, real , self. Thanks for that
I try everything Matt an Tim suggest to the t an I been catching good fish these guys are amazing at teaching newer guys how to get better much appreciation guys keep it coming !!!!!!!
I caught my PB on a frog 2 days ago 🥳🥳
I caught my PB on a Zara spook 2 days ago!
@@bryceblankenship3525 Congrats to both of you 👍
Up The Creek long 9 pounder without a huge gut
Love the setup of this video! I love tips but I also enjoy seeing them in action!
The 7’2” HVY Curado is the exact rod I use for frogging. Made my day to see you pick up that rod!
Dean Lyons same with 50lb braid and a curado xg
I use the 6’10 heavy because I fish from the bank.
Love frog fishing you never know what is going to bite one of my best experience is fishing for bass and you get a 42 inch musky love it.....thank you for the video....
Love frog fishing,thanks for the tips! Your a heck of a teacher,keep tight lines!
Wouldn't have to catch a single fish in a 25 min video and no one complains about an "only casting" video. Clearly your viewers love watching videos - packed with awesome information
Man, can you imagine spending a few days with Matt and pick his brain? That would be a fisherman's dream. Bless you all at Tactical Bassin!
I love Frog fishing.
Matt Allen the frog whisperer !!!
Thanks, Matt! Enjoyed this. Seeing you actually wonder why you weren't getting bit was real! Thanks for the tips. I got my PB last Sept on a frog - 7.25lbs. Since then the biggest fish I've managed is 3.5lbs ON ANYTHING! this year frogging here in my area in CA has been really slow. I keep trying, keeping the faith, but not getting a ton of bites and then I'm missing most. Hopefully it picks up! Have a great one.
Once again, phenomenal info! Great vid bro! Evergreen SS frog was gettin torn up for me a few weeks back.... walks so easily, pretty cool frog dude
Been walkin the heck out of the frogs lately. Gavacho is sick, bully wa too, they walk with ease. Your information has become my new standard, I don't think other ppl have as much experience to back up what they're putting out there.
Frog fishing is awesome !
Best part of the video. "Don't be afraid to be different" 😍
Awesome video. Great tips that I’m going to try on Kentucky Lake next week. Thanks for all your content.
Absolutely my favorite channel guys. I smiled when you pulled out the sprinker frog with the twin little blades because I have that one. Have yet to catch anything with it yet though.
Thanks Matt!!
The reason I throw a frog more than any other topwater is really just the versatility. You can walk it along a brush pile, throw it INTO that brush pile then haul off into 30 yards of pads and grass....it’s equally at home all those places.
A lot of guys say they have issues with hookups and I used to. I just woke up one day and said “I’m going to learn how to frog and that’s it...I’m not stopping until I catch something with one”. Went out with determination, caught some and now it’s a confidence bait. Same thing with jigs...I spent nearly 20 years saying “I don’t wanna deal with jigs”. Bit the bullet one day and stuck a decent bass under the FIRST DOCK I put one. Felt a little weight on my line, watched it start moving to the side and BAM...another new confidence bait by the end of day one. You just have to use these baits. They work...trust me, they all work...
1 year later and this video is worth coming back to and watching! I am still throwing the Bully Wa and Spro's on a MH rod, open water and light cover only.
"Bonus Bites" Are the Best lol. Another great TB session on the frog. Always seem to take away somthing from the videos keep it up guys!
still hvnt caught a bass on a frog yet but with all the froggin vids bout to get a huge blowup tonight thx
Matt, your the man! 😎
I use a 7'10" heavy, 65 lb braid, and my preference is a Booyah pad crasher, I learned 2 tricks, I drop a rattle inside and wrap the hooks with braid inside the frog so they don't separate as easy, makes the hooks last 3 times as long.
I've also learned when it gets out of the weeds I dead stick it a little longer, then walk it half way back to me.
Thanks Matt!!!!
I'd be happy getting 3 frog videos a week all year...
excellent tips!!! as always thank you!!
I use a 7’6 13 fishing Defy Black MH on 30lb and I’ve landed probably 80% of the bites this year. Great advice
It's all about confidence. I learned to frog fish with a Ugly Stik rod from Walmart and 10 pound mono. I finally upgraded to a medium heavy casting combo with 20 pound braid and do just fine with a frog.
Just started to frog fish. Got one. Fun!
I'ts fun being able to toss it just about anywhere!
My PB came on a cheap $3 frog from a "big box store" - Just a little hollow body Kermie.. Great video as always, Matt!
Ive found that setting the hook with the rod tip down towards the water helps increasing hook up rates versus setting the hook with the rod tip up. Went from loosing tons of strikes to landing about 3/4 of them.
Great in depth video. Makes me want to get out and do some froggin 🐸
You guys are the best 👍🏻
Man that reel really sings! It’s beautiful!
Met DC?
Definitely had to get used to my 7'3 heavy since I'm a smaller guy. Thought I had the first fish curse on my new rod but finally got used to it and now man!
You dudes are awesome!!
Frog videos are my favorite BY FAR! I love to throw the Bully Wa 2 but I choose to throw it on a 6'8" - 7' MH rod. I think another thing to consider on frog rods is how comfortable it is. I tend to go all day with just a frog tied on. Thanks again for the great content!
I throw mine on a 6' 9" fitzgerald skipping rod and I have a couple of 7' 2" mh moderate and they work awsome.. I don't like longer rods with the exception of cb rods
I fish in Europe and once i was frog fishing. Little do i know that in that pond there ara pike that really like frogs. Threw it in there and a nearly 3ft pike jumped on it. Light line, light rod, an byebye froggy
Love videos where you try and catch some fish while chatting.
Great video like always learned something. Your content is awesome . Keep up the good work and till the next one. Primo
You are selling yourself short Matt if you’re not trying a solid bodied frog. The best on the market in my opinion is the Stanley Ribbit frog. I use 40-50 lb braid with a single 5/0 hook with the twist lock. I am absolutely addicted to this frog. It fishes must faster than a hollow frog. I keep one tied on year around. Please give this frog a chance. I think if you try it then you WILL find a place in your arsenal for it. I fish in Alabama. 90% on the Coosa river. I love the videos that you and Tim make. Hopefully y’all will come to the Coosa river and hook into these bad ass spotted bass we have here. Enough preaching hookem good brother.
Thanks matt
Gotta love that dc sound
I use a frog made by Orvis. It slays. Some of the heavier fly patterns like the frog or dragon tail work great for Large Mouth.
DC whine, love it!
I like the sound of the reel when its casting
Good, informative video!
Here in Illinois, especially on small water, there is a LOT of vegetation both in, and under the water. I love throwing frogs all the time!
Love your videos and tips. I just ordered some of your recommended frogs cuz I just pulled one of my frogs out of the tackle box and the leg fell off...too old, dry rot. Time to up my game.
Got my little alen in the mail yesterday n nailed 3 nice fish with it and 2 on a jackal karah frog n another really nice 3.5 or 4 pounds this morning on my way to work
Are you guys doing more road trips this year? those are some of my favorites videos you guys do, really shows how to break down new waters.
Love the videos, and love that Gavacho.
The shadow of that camera kinda reminds me of Mystery Science Theatre!
My favorite frog rod was a 7' 6" Medium Lite Extra Fast Action Avid series spinning rod with 20lb braid. Never had an issue with the line breaking. Did loose a few fish that went into cover. I would reel up to them in my kayak, still under tension, then realized the fush was gone. The point is most people would never even try that set up for frog fishing because advice the one found in this video says the same thing every else says. I am moving up to a 7' 6" medium heavy nrx plus and sure that I'll be just fine.
Love to hear that DC sing!
Last night I lost every single bite on a frog, and they were hittin it. During this video I just changed up my gear. Thanks again for the tips and tricks 🤙
Awesome tips, live near Clear Lake😁👌👍
Frog fishing is somthing that I dont do much but I'm getting the hang of it
How can anyone dislike these videos? Like come on now, they are going out of their way to give us the top of the line info to catch more AND bigger fish.
good info
Love frog fishing but just hasn't been very successful for me this year. Will definitely try some of your suggestions. I learn something in everyone of your videos. Thanks for all the great info Matt!
Russ Reagan try the frog in the thickest of slop on the surface, you’d be surprised where the bass hit the frog.
@@Balls119 Thanks for the tip -- will try!
Whenever the bass are blowing bluegill out of the grass and I want to draw their attention away from the bluegill they are chasing... I have a Bully Wa 2 with a #5 o-ring on it. You can rip it once very hard and the o-ring makes the frog do a 180 and also spits a ton of water, while for the most part the frog stays right in the target area. Pause a couple of seconds and repeat. I am trying to make the most possible commotion with each rip. This technique has been very successful for me and the explosions you get are amazing.
Great video I love catching fish on a frog especially from the bank you guys should do a bank fishing video
Love the smaller bully wa and spittin wa. I’ve got about four of each
#tacticalbassin frog vids def helped land more frog/fun fish this year. Awesome vid
Man what I would do to hit a morning Frog run in clear lake whit Matt and Tim......btw Awesome vid was waiting for a new one
enjoy how you post every link and give explanation
Just subscribed man great info and that casting skill is amazing man not sure what did it 👍 🎣
I think it was the Spittin' Wa vid you guys did a while back?....Epic Froggin' Action! Insane hook sets! The best Frog promo I've ever seen!
I would love to see you test the Z man pop frogz , they work here in Oregon. Love all your video's.
Thank you for all you do, enjoy learning from your vids. This tip on walking the frog was helpful. Walking the bait on my backhand(yes, I am a tennis pro( is easier than on my forehand. The reason I mention this what tip do you have for me on walking the bait on my forehand side???
I'd love to watch the lake while you fish sometime
God bless spread his word!
I can only wish to be able to convey and know half the info you and Tim give us in every single video. Thank you
