Many fishermen target the outskirts of dense vegetation to avoid constantly clearing hooks of weed and debris. However, the biggest bass typically hunker down in the thickest cover. Flourishing vegetation can make some bass seem unreachable, but the all-new LIVETARGET Freestyle Frog 2.0 delivers the perfect profile, buoyancy, action, and weedless rigging that anglers need to excel in these challenging environments.
The Freestyle Frog features LIVETARGET’s Injected Core Technology (ICT), which represents a paradigm shift in soft-plastic lure development. This unique injection laminate process creates a detailed, anatomically accurate frog profile with multi-colored metallic hues encased in a translucent exoskeleton. This combination not only enhances the lure’s realism but also ensures unmatched action and durability.
Amid its lifelike profile, one of the standout features of the Freestyle Frog is its buoyancy. Unlike hollow-body frog lures that can take on water and sink after repeated casting, the Freestyle Frog remains on the water’s surface. This natural buoyancy enhances the lure’s action at any retrieval speed, with legs that kick and stride with every twitch of the rod tip.
Though primarily designed as a topwater lure, the Freestyle Frog is extremely versatile. It combines the excitement of a surface bait with the search capabilities of a buzzbait and the weedless advantages of a Texas-rigged soft plastic. Whether you’re flipping it toward lily pads or laydowns along shorelines, skipping it under docks, or striding it across open water, the Freestyle Frog proves equally appealing to bass in various scenarios.
When targeting largemouth in close quarters, most anglers first reach for the 2- or 2.5-inch Freestyle Frog because it attracts bass of all sizes. By holding the rod tip high and slowly turning the reel handle, the frog strides effortlessly across the surface. Alternatively, you can pop and pause the Freestyle Frog, letting its lifelike legs quiver at rest while nearby bass contemplate the best angle of attack. For those strictly targeting larger fish or fishing in windy, choppy waters, the 3-inch Freestyle Frog is ideal. Its clear exoskeleton provides the advantage of a bigger bait with a smaller profile, presenting a noticeable target for bass without spooking them with an overly bulky appearance.
Equipped with a single hook in the belly, the Freestyle Frog lands upright and rests flat after each cast. Upon a strike, the one-piece hollow body compresses easily, ensuring effective hook sets not typical of traditional frog lures. The combination of the inner core and exoskeleton creates a lure that is both supple and durable, capable of withstanding repeated catches without tearing or losing its vibrant coloration.
Available in eleven colors and three sizes, the Freestyle Frog pairs best with 4/0, 5/0, or 6/0 EWG Mustad Infiltrator hooks and can also be used with a double-prong hook. Sold unrigged, the Freestyle Frog has an MSRP of $9.99, making it a valuable addition to any angler’s tackle box.
