Powell Rods are absolutely AWESOME! Rarely do you come across a product that truly delivers that "WOW" factor. That is exactly what the Powell 735 Frog Rod did for me. The first time I cracked a bass with this rod I knew immediately that the frog rods I had used before were inferior. The Powell 735 is a rod designed to drive the hooks home, turn bass around, and bring 'em to the boat. The 735 is a big, beefy, powerful rod that is very well balanced and easy to handle. If your frog fishing requires you to work in very tight areas with ultra precise casting from all different angles to get your frog under docks or in and around the thickest wood cover then the Powell 725 frog rod is the stick for you. While possessing plenty of hawg busting power the 725 has a little softer tip allowing the rod to load easier when using backhanded flip or roll casts.

Powell Rods are expertly crafted fishing tools designed and manufactured to deliver quality, performance, and value. Oh, did I mention Powell Rods carry the best warranty in the business.

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.
