Tubes and a frog

Here are some tubes I worked on today along with a frog from a video I made. Tails on the tube are a little iffy but I guess there is room for improvement. Frank

Looks good Frank

looks fantastic , Frank I sure like that frog how did you make your tube baits are those made from a rod ?

snake if you look close you can see the ribs underneath those tubes, they are from a mold and re dipped, or so it looks to me. but they look great and i love the frog, is that a basstackle from

The tube are from a mold or actually two molds one I got from crappieseeker and the larger one I had(they are from the same maker). The frog is actually from bobstackle shack (this is basstackles cousin) so it really is the same. But it was custom made to be 4" way back when. Thanks for all the kind words you make me feel welcome here. Frank

Great work Frank. I love the colors of the tubes, very nice work.:):)

Frank could you be so kind as to show how you rig that frog please.

That frog really looks great....I like it

Here you go rigged. The one that is rigged has a poured belly.

thanks frank is that a hook slot in the top of the frog to make it snagless or is the tip of the hook just barely inside the plastic? What do you mean by a poured belly?

yes it has a slot on top for the hook to be snagless but I still bury the hook a little bit so it does not slide up. A poured belly means I opened the mold poured the white belly then closed it and poured the rest. In the pic the top one is two color injected and the bottom one is the poured belly.

Thanks for the explanation Frank. I thought that is what you meant but I was not sure because from the pic I could not tell a difference. It sure looked good. Why dont you send me one of those frogs as a sample and I will tell you how it works down here on good ol Guntersville ha ha.

Pm me your address and you will see a couple in the mail for you.
