Chuck, Some years ago when I was tying for the shops I had a request from a guy in Italy that was going to the Amazon to fish for some big fish. I don't recall the name of the fish. I don't know where he got my name of knew about my Froggie. He asked me to tie him some big Froggies on hooks that he would send me. I don't remember the size of the hooks but they were big. I made the Froggies using 1/2" foam on top and bottom. I used Green Foam for the top and Yellow foam for the bottom gluing the hook in between them. The Froggies were an inch thick and about 6" long. They were sent to him. I later got an E mail from him that they worked real well but only stood up to about two fish before they got tore up. Somewhere I had photos saved of the Froggies, lost them in that computer glitch I had a few years back along with a lot of other photos I had saved. The first Smallmouth I ever caught was caught on a sz 8 Froggie. Caught three in a row that day on Crooked Creek. Arkansas Tony

But I had always tied them in bluegill size, on about size 8 hooks. Till now. I JUST finished this "Bass Froggie". It's tied on a 2/0 or 3/0 wide gape bass hook (I think) and measures just over 4" long. Ain't the prettiest froggie ever tied, but I think late in the evening, just before dark, when the bass start feeding on top. I think they'll KILL this thing. Chuck Now that you know what I do in the middle of the night, How bout you???? LOL.. 'Ol Mr. Insomnia is visiting this weekend I guess..
