Spohrer’s frog trick

Expect to see lots of imitation frog photos this week in the top lures gallery. What you won’t see is the cool modification made by Gerald Spohrer to his Spro Dean Rojas Bronzeye Frog. 

“John Crews gets the credit for it,” Spohrer told me this morning at the ramp. 

Credits aside, Spohrer cut a small hole in the rear end of the frog to let water drain out.

“When water gets inside it modifies the action, and the hole lets the water drain out to keep it running perfect.”

At least five of the anglers credited variations of topwater frogs as getting them to Championship Sunday.
