Con Frog

Built To Conquer The Thickest Slop.

The G-Ratt Baits Con Frog is a premium hollow-body topwater frog engineered specifically for fishing heavy vegetation, dense mats, and cover that stops conventional topwater baits in their tracks. Featuring an innovative Hardnose System, advanced water-management design, and a heavier-than-average profile, the Con Frog is built to crawl, walk, and slide through the nastiest cover while maintaining buoyancy and weedless performance. Whether you're targeting bass buried beneath duckweed, lily pads, hydrilla, or shoreline cover, this frog is designed to stay in the strike zone and withstand aggressive attacks.

Key Features

• • Hardnose System — Ultra-dense rigid nose construction prevents the frog from sliding up the line or collapsing when worked aggressively through heavy vegetation.

  • Advanced Water Management — Sealed hook-hole design helps keep water out of the body cavity while a dedicated breath hole maintains buoyancy and performance.

  • Mat-Busting Weight — At 3/4 oz, the heavier profile helps depress vegetation mats and displace water, making the bait easier for bass to locate beneath thick cover.

  • Premium Weedless Hook System — Heavy-duty custom double hooks hug the body tightly for weedless operation while remaining ready for quick hook penetration.

  • Silicone Strand Legs — High-grade silicone skirting creates subtle movement and surface disturbance that can trigger reaction strikes.

  • Versatile Topwater Action — Capable of walking, twitching, slithering, and crawling through both open water and dense vegetation.

Best Use & Conditions

• • Heavy Vegetation Mats: Designed for fishing lily pads, hydrilla, duckweed, cheese mats, milfoil, and other dense surface cover.

  • Shallow Cover Fishing: Effective around laydowns, shoreline brush, overhanging trees, reeds, and dock edges.

  • Topwater Strike Zones: The floating design excels when bass are feeding upward beneath vegetation or surface cover.

  • Target Species: Largemouth bass, spotted bass, smallmouth bass, snakehead, bowfin, and other freshwater predators that hunt around shallow cover.

Rigging & Tips

• • Slop Retrieve: Crawl the frog slowly across thick mats with occasional pauses to allow fish beneath the cover time to locate the bait.

  • Walk-the-Dog Technique: Use rhythmic rod twitches on a slack line to create a tight side-to-side walking action in open pockets.

  • Target Cover Method: Work the bait aggressively around laydowns, dock corners, and brush piles where bass often ambush prey.

  • Gear Pairing: A heavy-power rod, high-speed reel, and braided fishing line are commonly used when fishing frogs in dense cover.

  • Maintenance: Periodically inspect hooks, silicone legs, and body integrity after repeated fish catches or heavy cover contact.
