One of the most versatile baits on the market today is the
Strike King KVD Sexy Frog. From May until November this hollow bodied frog can
catch bass. In the fall however it can be one of the deadliest baits to throw.
With the water temperature cooling, the bass move into the shallows in search
for food. In lakes where there is an abundance of grass, the Sexy Frog shines.
Not only do the bass use this cover to ambush their prey, but also as an area
to stay warm as the grass holds heat. In the grass, largemouth typically feed
on small bluegill that flicker throughout the surface. One key to hooking up on
this bait is to wait until you either cannot see the bait floating anymore or
you feel the fish move with the bait. Most strikes are fierce and many anglers
tend to set the hook too soon because of nothing more than sheer excitement.
This will only result in multiple missed opportunities so the best advice is to
wait. Not only is the Sexy Frog able to catch fish in the grass but can also be
used in the open water where the bass are feeding on shad. There are typically
two ways to work this bait. The first is to let the bait sit for several
seconds after it hits the water then slowly inch it back to you making small
jerks with the rod and the other is to work it aggressively like a frog or
wounded bait fish fleeing in the water. Let the bass tell you what they want
and before you know it, you will be loading the boat on the KVD Sexy Frog.
