Thanks for the kind words. I make several different frog patterns depending on the look/action I'm going for, but this one performs so well that I think it may become my go-to pattern. As far as fishing for trout until the warm-water for bass fishing heats up, I hope that you include Bluegill in your warm-water fishing. Pound for pound, I find Bluegill to fight harder and are every bit as much fun as bass and they are usually less "fussy" than bass. Just a thought...Jim
