Less mass over the same short body means it floats higher, lands with the least splash of any version, and holds its action at a crawl — speeds at which the 11g and 12g frogs simply plough. It is also the easiest to skip across matted salvinia, duckweed and lily pads, because there is less weight pressing it down into the mat. The trade-off is worth knowing before you buy: 8g casts the shortest distance in the range and is first to be pushed off line by wind, so this is a short-to-medium range bait for sheltered water, not a tool for reaching across an open reservoir. The colourful hard body gives a clear visual target and a flexible silicone skirt opens and pulses behind it. Close-fitting rear double hooks keep hook exposure lower than a treble around vegetation, though no lure is completely snag-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHard-body topwater frog, 4.5cm and 8g — the lightest in the range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall prey profile with the highest float of the Let's Go frogs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible silicone skirt creates lively movement and vibration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClose-fitting rear double-hook configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright, highly visible colour patterns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeven colour patterns, 81 to 87\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Fish It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrawl it\u003c\/strong\u003e — Wind as slowly as you can while still keeping the body moving.
