Recomend a lure for topwater fishing mossy areas that don't cost $10+ each :) 2024

AC_Doctor reply :

I am fishing a 10 acre lake with vast quanties of moss from 25'-75' out. There are big bass in there, but the moss makes fishing a regular topwater lure with treble hooks impossible. I have had some luck with a weightless Senko, but even that gets mossy build up on it.

Recomend a topwater lure (frog, mouse etc.) that is weedless that will work for my hunt for big bass. Thanks is advance!

I use horny toads, but any of them work.

I like a 4/0 wide gap skin hooked, most weedless I have found.

The lures with 2 hooks will catch floating weeds or grass between the hooks and the body.

CookieMonst3r reply :

Try a Mann's the Weasal. They're only $5.

pondhopper reply :

Weightless T-rigged senko

Dock Master reply :

I would try either the SPRO Bronze Eye frogs, or either Zoom Horney Toads.

This frog has been catching most of my fish recently.

VolFan reply :

A big tube jig, texas rigged, weightless, preferably one without salt as the salt makes it sink too much. As long as you keep twitching, it'll stay on top. You can then let it flutter down in holes. Works great on mucky lakes as you can hide the hook eye, the shape of the tube sloughs off weeds, and the bass generally haven't seen it before.

BassinSoldier reply :

I'd also say the bronzeye frog, or any number of toads, including the ragetail toad or zoom hornytoad.

True,I have had that problem with scummy moss, but the bronzeye poppin frog doesn't do that and that is what I would reccomend.This is one of the hottest and most effective new baits out.

[/quoteIt is true, but my experience with Southern Pro and River2Sea frogs have been similar to your

ANY BAIT IN MOSS< WILL PICK UP A LITTLE MOSS

You learn how to minimize that and work it with good results.I also trhow *** Toads with a 4/0 EWG, it also picks up a little moss, but is also effective

All the suggestions are great but would like to add the Cabelas Chuck-it frogs . They are very comparable to the Spro and half the price

Mark J reply :

Bronzeye Popper Frog works well and also the Snagproof Bass Kicker Frog. It weighs 3/4oz and handles moss very well without getting gunked up.

CWB reply :

Snagproof Bobby's Perfect or Paddle Foot frogs.

Rage Tail Shad, Toad, Space Monkey, Craw, Lobster.

Rigged on an Owner (I know, I sound like I own shares in the company) Twistlock hook, weighted if you want the bait to sink faster in the pockets.

I prefer the Owner simply because it has the centering pin in the coil which, with a little attention, keeps the head in alignment with the body.

With the hook keel down, start the bait top up. Three turns will bring it snug to the hook eye. The only part of the rig that will catch/snag moss is the tag end of the knot.

A quick tug, and the moss will be shed.

Fish it topwater, mid-water, or like a jig on the bottom. They are all effective, and weedless provided the point of the hook is hidden.

And this is a MUST; CLIP ALL YOUR KNOTS CLOSE!!!!!!!!!!' Any little bit of a tag end sticking out will bring you a lot of frustration in moss

bigtimfish reply :

Do you have an academy nearby? they make a frog that LOOKS exactley like a spro bronzeye frog. it cost about 4 bucks. i dont know the performance but they look great. its an h2o express frog. very pretty. but pretty=fish doesnt always apply.
