A hollow-bodied, soft plastic amphibian imitation designed to mimic a frog’s appearance and movement in the water is a popular tool among anglers. These lifelike decoys, often rigged with weedless hooks for fishing in heavy vegetation, entice predatory fish with their realistic profiles and splashing action.
The efficacy of these biomimetic lures stems from their ability to trigger predatory instincts in fish like bass, pike, and muskie. Their design allows for fishing in dense cover where these species often ambush prey, a significant advantage over traditional lures. Furthermore, the dynamic, erratic movement achievable with these lures often provokes strikes even from lethargic fish. This fishing technique has evolved alongside advancements in materials and design, leading to increasingly realistic and effective imitations.
