What conditions. I fish from 5pm-9pm. would it work then.(the pond i fish is 75% algae.
Preytorien reply :
I would think it could work, especially low-light conditions such as dawn/dusk or an overcast day.
Throw it around some grass or weeds and let Mr. Bass tell you he's hungry!

Hopefully the marker smell wont be to strong....... I didn't feel like buying a black frog so i just made one black. 
Preytorien reply :
Hey whatever works. I've done my fair share of sharpie modifications.
I use a sharpie to color the end of my faded braid black, I've never seen any less fish from it.
I also had a gold floating Rapala minnow that I used a sharpie on to mark little spots all over it, kind of looks like a trout.....that thing flat out CATCHES bluegills and bass in our local river.
I think your frog will probably do just fine.
Sounds like you may be a future lure-maker in the works

MCS reply :
Sure it will catch them if not kill them lol What did you use a sharpie?.....Black will work 24/7...Even mid-day and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Don't worry about the smell it is a reaction strike, they don't have much time to sniff it out LOL

Don't be too surprised if/when the black eventually turns to purple. It shouldn't effect the fishability though.
CTGalloway21 reply :
color really doesn't matter for topwater all that much. Black is great, white is great, not sure why black and white wouldn't be either
A-Jay reply :
Doesn't really matter what we think -
Take it to the lake and the bass will certainly let you know what they think about it.
btw - I have yet to find Any Color Frog that Won't catch bass . . . . . .
Good Luck

gardnerjigman reply :
Take it fishing and then post the pictures of the fish you catch... 20 minutes of fishing with it will answer every question you have about it far better than we can... Good luck!
Master Bait'r reply :
I am convinced that if it's a hollow body of the correct profile and thrown in the right spot it doesn't matter what it looks like, it will get slammed. So yes. Have fun, dress your frogs up and take them out to dinner if it suits your fancy. Whatever gets you feelin' the lure and working it with confidence.
Kevin22 reply :
Its not going to be black when it hits the water, it will be a shiny purple (black sharpies are really a dark purple). Should still work, fish probably haven't seen that color!
I would put some scent on it before fishing though, not because the fish will smell the sharpie and not take it... but because you have to wait before you set the hook with a frog, and that will give the bass time to taste the sharpie and he might spit it right back out.
Kevin Beachy reply :
Thanks for all youll input on this subject.

Is there any homemade sents that you know how to make that work good.
jtharris3 reply :
Some people use anise oil. That's pretty easy to find too.

Really, I've seen it when the color of the frog made all the difference.

First of all, will it catch fish well not good. Anyway it should work wait till dusk and drop it off the Lilly pads. You will kill them.
Bluebasser86 reply :
I use Sharpies to modify baits often, don't worry about the scent putting fish off, they don't care. If you're really worried about it, any kind of spray scent will knock the marker smell down.

Does this really work. I thought it was illegal.

Why would it be illegal? Lots of trout guys do it around here, don't know if it helps but they still catch trout and occasionally bass on spinners and spoons.

Don't think it would be illegal, but I wouldn't want to be spraying it into my local water. You can buy a bottle of scent at walmart for $6. I would suggest you look for the paste type, it will hold on better.
Raul reply :
I see absolutely no reason why your contraption wouldn´t catch fish.
If I showed you some of the baits I use that are absolutely deadly and just by looking at them you wouldn´t believe they are fish catchers.

Those aren´t easy to find but here´s a solution that works equally well.
Kevin22 reply :
I believe that Raul! Looks just like a legless hellgrammite! One of a bass's favorite summertime foods!
