Bobby's Perfect Frog
by Snag Proof
Don't let me say: "I 'TOAD' you so."
Snag Proof teamed up with frog fishing master Bobby Barrack to create the best soft bodied
frog bait on the market. Froggin' is one of my favorite ways to bass fish. I just love it, so I have over the years tried
every frog out there and I can tell you Bobby's Perfect Frog has everything that makes a frog bait G-R-E-A-T. Bobby's Perfect Frog sports a premium dual bite super strong frog hook. Just tie it on and don't worry
about it. The frog body is built to fit the hook so it provides a sleek, well balanced, "Snag Proof" bait
that you can fish in and around the thickest cover with confidence. The body and skirt color combinations are plentiful and
look good making it easy to match the conditions whether it be forage, sunny skies or cloud cover, clear or dirty water. Now, let's talk about the action of Bobby's Perfect Frog. This bait is weighted to create a lure
that sits perfectly in the water so the angler can walk it side to side or chug it forward. The walking motion
of the Bobby's Perfect Frog is much more intense than other frog baits because it slashes left and right with a sharp,
180-degree swing drawing vicious strikes. However, at times the bass want a more subtle forward chugging action
which is also easy to achieve with Bobby's Perfect Frog. The high quality skirts used in Bobby's
Perfect Frog enhance the bait's action by flaring as the bait comes to rest. I've seen bass follow a frog bait
because they were attracted by the bait's natural action but would not commit to bite ... well, that was until the
bait was stopped and the subtle action of the flaring skirt triggered the bass to react on the bait. The
bottom line is that if you enjoy catching quality bass on topwater any time of day then Bobby's Perfect Frog by Snag
Proof is a bait for you. I suggest using it with 65-lb. braided line and a rod specifically designed for frog fishing. If

Polarized Sunglasses with Lenses Specially Developed by Harry Allen:
Costa Del Mar polarized sunglasses are quite simply the best I have ever used.
My lenses are specially made by Mr. Harry Allen. Harry is a fisherman and an Optician, thus he develops lens for fisherman.
Harry understands the various on-the-water conditions we face and he works to develop lens to meet those conditions giving
the fisherman optimum visibility above the water's surface and below.
I personally utilize two of Harry's
specially developed lens: The Harry's Lens and The Flats Lens.
The Harry's Lens is a great overall lens
for everyday use. The lens cuts right through water surface glare and provides excellent underwater visibility over a wide
range of sky conditions from bright sun to low light. The lens also provides great contrast for sharp visual images and depth
perception.
The Flats Lens is a must have for overcast days or those hazy sky days. You know, those hot summer
days when the sun is out but the sky is so hazy it seems overcast. That hazy sky condition is very common in the south when
the humidity is very high and the air is all but still. Well, the Flats Lens is what you need to cut through that dull glare
and provide you with the greatest on-the-water vision possible.
I'm telling you these lenses developed by
Harry Allen are a must for fishermen. Call Harry at 336-884-5677 and tell him you read about his lenses here. He will discuss
your sunglass needs with you and make you a great pair of sunglasses that you will never want to be without.

Black Dog Bait Company: Shellcracker Swimbait
West Coast meets East Coast with the swimbait craze. Lookout! Swimbaits aren't just for those Cali-Bass anymore.
Yep, these baits catch fish here in our southern waters too. My good friend from the West Coast, Justin McComas, introduced
me to the Black Dog Bait Company Shellcracker swimbait when he came to fish with me in May.
I was amazed at the
quality and detail in this bait. Justin gave me some quick lessons on how to present this bait, and it didn't take long
to see that this beauty would be effective on my South Carolina waters once I learned how to effectively present it. Yes-sir,
I had to have one of these baits. Justin shocked me by making his bait a gift to me. Man-O-Man, what a great gift. I could
not wait to spend some time with this bait and learn to fish it.
This bait floats at rest and seductively moves
from side to side with a slow retrieve. It looks just like an injured Shellcracker swimming just beneath the surface. As it
is swimming along you can see largemouth waking up behind the bait. With the bass trailing it you can stop the bait and
give the line a quick jerk and the bait will do a 180-degree turn and face the bass. Hold on because ol' mama
bass can't have any of that. She is going to slam it. You can also present the Shellcracker a little more
erratically with short quick jerks and make the bait walk-the-dog. That presentation has produced the most bites for me. The
bass pictured is a 6 lb. 12 oz. Lake Murray bass that ate the bait while I was giving it the slow swimming retrieve off
a shallow grass line where bream where present.
These baits are awesome. I have to give all of the credit to Justin
for introducing me to the Black Dog Shellcracker. Pure
Fishing Product Family: Abu Garcia, Berkley, Fenwick, Mitchell, Stren, Spider, Sevenstrand
Pure Fishing houses a huge product line of top quality fishing tackle.
I personally use Abu Garcia reels, Fenwick rods, Mitchell spinning reels, Stren fishing line, Berkley fishing line, Spiderwire
fishing line, and Berkley soft plastics.
Abu Garcia casting and spinning reels are top of the line. They offer
trouble free reliable performance day after day. My first casting reel was a 5500C I bought in the early 1970s, and I
still have it and it still works. I have bought and used a ton of reels since then and none compare to the new Revo casting
reels. These reels are state of the art and as good as it gets for the daily grind of bass fishing.
Fenwick continues to manufacture fishing rods that are as light
weight, strong, durable, sensitive, and easy to handle as any fishing rod in the industry. I use Techna AV and HMG casting
and spinning rods. Their actions are spot on and they are simply as good as it gets.
Mitchell spinning reels are another industry standard. Dollar for dollar these reels are outstanding.
You can pay more but you wont get more.
Stren, Berkley, and Spiderwire fishing lines cover any situation an angler may come across. I use them all depending
on the qualities and characteristics I am needing in a fishing line for a given situation. Fishing line can easily cover an
entire wall in a retail store, and it can be confusing. If you have questions about what line to use drop me an email with your question and I'll answer it for you.
