Frogs lures and baits

Frogs lures and baits for bass- some of the best bass lures in summer
In the summer, when waters are warm, frogs are very common around the edges of lakes and ponds. Largemouth bass love to eat these tasty amphibians, and that is why topwater frog lures can be very productive in the warmer months. Following are a few frog lures to consider for bass in summer.

Cabela's fisherman series chuck-It frog juniors are great frog baits to use in the shallows and around structure. These lures are available in a number of froggy color patterns, and they retail for just $3.99.
Scum frog lures from the Southern Lure Company are also great frog baits for bass. The scum frog in the pumpkinseed color pattern is great when fished slowly, and with rod twitches around logs and brush piles near the shore.

The Rapala skitter pop popper is not only one of the best all around poppers for bass, but in the lime, frog, or fire tiger color patterns, it really does look like a struggling frog. Fish this lure very slowly, with small pops in coves and along the shore for bass.

All of these baits are some of the best bass lures in summer, and they are also great fun to use, as surface lures usually trigger bass to explosively bust on them.
