Instead of the rounded jump-frog body used by most of the family it has a broad, flattened leaf-like outline with a wide head, a raised back and prominent red eyes, so its 7g is spread over a much larger footprint than the weight alone suggests. At 4.5cm the loading works out at about 1.6g per centimetre — low for a resin frog, and less than three-quarters of what the sinking MF Smooth Frog carries in the same body length. Combined with the wide underside, that gives it the flattest, highest float in the group. It planes onto the top almost immediately, holds the surface at a crawl that would let a denser frog sink away, and rides over matted grass and lily leaves rather than nosing into them. It also throws a wide, flat shadow, which is what a fish sitting under a weed mat actually sees. Flexible silicone skirt strands spread and pulse on the retrieve and keep working through the pause, and the rear double hook lies close along the body for lower exposure in vegetation. No lure is completely snag-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBroad leaf-frog hard body, 4.5cm and 7g, floating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide, flat underside for a high float and a slow surface crawl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright green finishes and prominent red eyes for visibility against dark weed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible silicone skirt keeps moving during twitches and pauses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClose-fitting rear double hook for working over grass, pads and light cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks on steady retrieves, short twitches and twitch-and-pause presentations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive colour patterns, 01 to 05\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Fish It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCreep the mat\u003c\/strong\u003e — Cast well past a weed mat or pad field and wind just fast enough to keep the body moving over the leaves.
