FROG Hook Page
 
This is CaptKen's
new "Cross Planar" FROG Hook design. This screw-on coiled weedguard holder
raises the position of the elastic rubber band on hooks that are not Coplanar with respect
to the hook's barb, hook point, and eye of the hook. It is actually adjustable to create
"Cross Planar" Protection. They are not only excellent for the FROG, but
you can also quickly switch to a soft jerk bait, hooking it through the head. Or, you can
quickly slap on a Senko & fish it "wacky style" in the weeds before
switching back to the FROG. They are also excellent for fishing shiners weedless. |
Always check the hook point before using the FROG
Hook. The point of the hook should be below the elastic band and below the barb. This
position will allows a little better protection when the FROG lands hard after a cast.
Also, every time you catch a bass, check the point again and use needlenose pliers to
correct it. |
Always check the hook for proper alignment as in the
photo above with respect to the weedguard. |
The hook in the photo above would be more difficult to
keep from snagging on obstructions. |
The Banjo Minnow Coplanar Weedless Hook is specially
designed to accept elastic rubber band weedguards. The #1 hook is just the right size for
the FROG. |
The Mustad #37140 works well with a homemade single
strand stainless steel wire weedguard. |
The Matzuo Weedless Kahle Hook & the Eagle Claw
151W are two commercially wired hook
solutions. |
