    Default BULL FROG SLIDER - Fly of the Week - March 1, 2010

    BULL FROG SLIDER

    Like many of you I have fished frog imitations for years. But my bait casting counterparts arsenal of frog imitations have been constantly improving while my collection of frog poppers and sliders have for the most part stayed the same. Looking through what was available in preformed popper and slider bodies I knew that I if I wanted a slider head to look like a real frog I would have to make it myself. Here?s what I have come up with.

    Wow... and to that I add.. Wow.

    I fear, between you and Jim Hatch, I'm convinced I need a dremel tool. And quite probably an "artist" to run it.

    Beautiful frog! I want one.

    Aged sage,

    Under the Bold Faced part of the message there is a normal BULL FROG SLIDER, that's the link to the Fly Of The Week. If that doesn't work for you, try http://www.flyanglersonline.com/fotw...tw20100301.php .

    Did you notice he's a dental tech?

    I was going "wow' too and thought I'd try one...even happen to have some of those foam cylinders on hand...then I noticed his profession and suspect there is some extra talent involved.

    lol.. yeah - believe me - I noticed. But, I think I have it figured out. Just start with a foam cylinder and grind away everything that don't look like a frog.
