Been using the Scum Launch Frog for the first time this season and I can say that this frog takes the headache out of frog fishing. Not having to worry about hook up ratios with the soft rubber body and the Owner hooks that guarantee that that fish stays pegged. They get even better with the weight of these frogs you can get great casts in with these and on your retrieve you can walk them in place. By far the best that I have ever used and will continue to get them here at Omnia Fishing.

Weed line 10-12 ft slow drag out of the weed line and the largemouth would smoke it. Would have to cycle through many weed lines but you will find the right fish. Swapped between a 3/4 oz and 1/2 Arsenal tungsten weight green pumpkin just Texas rigged and find the thickest greenest veg on the weed line and was dragging it out.

Bluegill
Nest is typically known for an offshore grass bite, but I took to the shallows and fished all the grass on the surface. The grass was sparse enough to run buzzbaits over/around the grass that generated some big strikes. If I needed to slow down a bit, a frog was a big factor in continuing my bite.

Lily Pads
Steady frog bite throughout the day, mostly in the pad fields between the bridges. Out on main lake most bites we're coming from mid depth weeds, 10-12ft.

Boulders
Work the east shoreline, look for the dark spots in the water. These are areas of rock and gravel in about 4-6' of water. Some are only as big as a table, don't overlook. These smaller patches hold fish.

Found fish on the edges of the pads near old beds, chasing bait and bluegills roaming these areas.
