How to Fish a Frog for BIG Bass (Step-by-Step) in your area
Nothing beats a frog blowup, and the Bass Mafia Cannonball Popping Frog is one of my favorites for calling bass out of heavy cover. In this video, I break down when to fish a popping frog, how to work it, and the exact rod, reel, and line setup I rely on.
The Cannonball shines in windy conditions, dirty water, and thick vegetation where you need extra noise and commotion to draw strikes. I’ll walk you through the small details that make the difference — from choosing the right areas to timing the hookset.
