It carries the same 13g as the 5.5cm Mash Frog in a shorter body, so it sits a touch lower, but the real difference is how it is built. A semi-rounded belly lets it glide across the surface and slide over weed, giving a controlled, evenly spread splash on a steady retrieve and a much wider splash when twitched or popped. An internal rattle chamber adds sound and vibration, which matters in stained water and under matted cover. Flexible skirt strands pulse behind the body, a strong 2\/0 double hook sits close to the shell, and an adjustable weed guard lets you tune hook exposure to the cover. No lure is completely snag-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTopwater toad-profile lure, 5cm and 13g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRealistic American-toad-inspired body with a rounder, bulkier outline than a frog pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSemi-rounded belly for smooth gliding across the surface and over weed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal rattle chamber adds sound and vibration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrong 2\/0 double hook mounted close to the body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable weed guard to tune hook exposure to the cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible skirt strands add movement behind the body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour colour patterns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Fish It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteady glide\u003c\/strong\u003e — A constant unhurried wind lets the rounded belly plane across the top with an even, repeating splash.
