Frog Addicts Newsletter Vol 2

Welcome to the 2nd edition of the Frog Addicts Newsletter. Each month we will be reviewing up to the minute frog and bass fishing related news plus recapping the previous months "Best Of" when it comes to social media, frog videos and more.. Here is what's happening in the world of frog fishing.

Hitting the Shelves

Feb is notoriously a slow month when it comes to new products hitting the shelves and 2018 is no different.

Newly released and available direct, the Blitz Buzz Phrog is a unique mix of the Snag Proof Kicker frog and the classic Tru Tungsten Mad Maxx. Built for steady retrieves over sparse to medium cover the Buzz Phrog should seriously churn some water. - Available Now!

Speaking of Churning water Booyah Baits mad a splash this month when they re-released the Teckel Sprinker frog, only they called it the Toad Runner (a much cooler sounding name). This frog stirs up mixed emotions in me, as I have previously been a big fan of Booyah's Pad Crasher both on the water and in my wallet. Lets see of the Toad Runner can offer up something new and prove its not just a copy cay - Available Spring 2018

Instagram user @hideki_maeda let slip an image of a potential new frog from Teckel Lures. The image was simply captioned "Got Cup" check out this link for an up-close look at a potential new Teckel Frog. We'll keep our eyes open for more info from Teckel. - Availability Unknown ???

UPDATE: Check out the below video section for an update on this news item. Hideki reached out to us to let us know that the frog in the image is just a home made popper, he followed up with a video how-to shared below. On a positive note he mentioned that he is working on a couple new frogs as we speak.

Rounding out the Feb Frog news is a new release from Live Target Lures. You may  have noticed this bait kicking around the Tackle Warehouse site the past few weeks but it is now officially in stock and listed in the new product section. This is a very interesting new bait with a new take on a traditional popper mouth. Designed in conjunction with angler Scott Martin this is live targets first foray into "Signature Series" baits. - Available Now!
