Night Train 3.25”

Built To Call Predators Up From The Shadows.

The Night Train 3.25" from TARGARYEN Baits and STORMBORN Baits is a premium hollow-body topwater frog designed for anglers targeting aggressive freshwater predators in heavy cover environments. Featuring a compact 3.25-inch profile, substantial 20-gram weight, and oversized hook gap, the Night Train is engineered to deliver long-distance casting performance while creating the water displacement needed to draw explosive strikes. Developed by experienced snakehead specialists and tournament-winning multi-species anglers, this handmade American-crafted frog is built to withstand hard-hitting fish and demanding fishing conditions.

Key Features

• • Bomb-Casting Weight — The 20-gram design helps achieve impressive casting distance, allowing anglers to reach pressured fish and difficult-to-access cover.

  • Hollow-Body Frog Design — Weedless profile is designed to move through vegetation, lily pads, duckweed, grass mats, and shoreline cover.

  • Huge Hook Gap — Oversized hook spacing helps improve hook penetration when predators compress the body during strikes.

  • Heavy-Duty Hardware — Built with premium hooks and durable components designed to handle powerful freshwater predators.

  • Water-Displacement Profile — Specialized body design pushes water effectively to attract attention and trigger reaction strikes.

  • Handmade American Craftsmanship — Individually built in the USA using high-grade components and field-tested designs.

Specs Table

Best Use & Conditions

• • Heavy Vegetation: Designed for fishing lily pads, hydrilla, duckweed, grass mats, reeds, and other dense surface cover.

  • Low-Light Conditions: Particularly effective during dawn, dusk, overcast conditions, and periods of increased predator activity.

  • Target Species: Largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, chain pickerel, northern snakehead, and other aggressive freshwater predators.

Rigging & Tips

• • Mat-Crawling Retrieve: Work the frog slowly across thick vegetation with occasional pauses to give predators time to locate the bait.

  • Walk-The-Frog Technique: Use controlled rod twitches to create an erratic side-to-side action in open pockets and edges.

  • Strike Timing: After a surface explosion, allow a brief moment before setting the hook to ensure the fish has fully committed.

  • Heavy-Cover Setup: Pair with braided fishing line and a heavy-power rod for improved control around dense vegetation.
