Fishing Gear: H2OX Jointed Wake Frog

H2OX Jointed Wake Frog

Description and Application: The Jointed Wake Frog features 3D eyes and realistic hand-painted finishes in four available colors. The bait comes armed with razor-sharp VMC trebles, and the lure floats while making a surface-disturbing wake that attracts angry bass. The Academy team suggests using a 7-foot medium heavy fast casting rod with a reel loaded with 30- to 50-pound braid. Available online or at your local Academy Sports + Outdoors retailer.

Staff Perspective:This is a cool lure that kicks out a unique wake invoking fierce topwater strikes. The action is unlike many other topwater baits, it almost combines the action of a topwater frog and a wake/buzzbait, and you’ll certainly find places for it to do work. This is not a presentation for dense weeds, rather the weed edge and overtop of suspended feeding bass. The four colors are the only frog colors you’ll ever need.
