EVOLVE Original Series Frog

This weekend I had the chance to try out this new awesome looking hard bodied frog. What I really like about the frog, other than the amazing detail, is the hook placement. I imagine with the hook placement where it is, unlike most frogs on the market, there is no plastic to worry about moving out of the way. When the fish hits, he is getting the points immediately.

When I pulled out my frog rod and showed D'Chil this new EVOLVE bait, he had the same concern as I did, "...but how weedless will it be?"

When the bait is placed in the water, it sit's tail down, nose up, nearly straight up and down in the water at almost a 90 degree angle to the surface. That too made us wonder how weedless.

Well, that question was soon answered as I tossed my frog in a large mat of emergent hydrilla and lily pads.

To our surprise it was EXTREMELY weedless. I cast it repetitively into the thickest weeds I could see and I never felt so much as a slight snag. It effortlessly came through everything. I was very impressed!

However, I can show no fish pictures at this time. With the cold front that blew in, we couldn't BUY a topwater bite, regardless of which bait we threw.

In any case, this is an awesome bait and dare I say, the most realistic looking frog on the market!

Hey Jared. I bought two of these frogs and they just came in today. I bought the original frog and the pulse frog. I LOVE the realistic look to them. However, I noticed that on both frogs, the line-tie eye was crooked...very noticeable. When I tried to correct it with a pair of pliers, I could hear it crack a bit. No real damage, but I was curious if your frogs are like that too. I figure for a $16.00 lure, it should be of sound quality. Don't get me wrong, it looks beautiful...but that doesn't matter as much to me as the quality and performance of the bait. Thanks.

No, Mike, my frogs line ties were straight. Where did you buy them from? Hopefully it was Tackle Warehouse because if so they will replace them for you. At least they have always replaced any defective or damaged products myself and my friends have ordered from them. They are pretty good about it.

Thanks Jared. Yeah, I bought them from Tackle Warehouse. Guess I need to give them a call then. Thanks.

Well this sucks. TW told me they would send me a return label to ship them back to them, but that alone, will take 5 days. Then they said they don't know how they'll handle my return...whether they will exchangethem out or refund me. Told them I wanted to exchange them because I'm really wanting to fish them. They said they have to go through their Evolve frogs and see if they are all like that...if so, they will refund my money.

Opted for 2 day shipping, biting my nails until they got here, and now have to send them back.

Yes I am thinking of getting some of these, I was disappointed with my spro frog last weekend, for some reason they kept filling up with water really bad, and would start sinking. I didn't like having to squeeze them out every cast. I bet these won't do that. :thumbup01:
