LURESFACTORY - MF BULL FROG & JR. 3.5cm/4cm 6.3g/8.7g HARDBODY LURE TOPWATER

Luresfactory MF Bull Frog & Jr. 3.5cm / 4cm 6.3g / 8.7g Hardbody Topwater

The Bull Frog is a floating frog-style lure for shallow water, weeds, grass and any cover holding predatory fish, and it is offered in two sizes that do genuinely different jobs. The standard 4cm / 8.7g model gives the larger presentation and the casting weight; the 3.5cm / 6.3g Junior is for fish feeding on smaller prey and for accurate casts into narrow water. Both carry a detailed bullfrog-inspired body with natural colours, prominent eyes and realistic markings, flexible silicone skirt strands that spread and pulse on the retrieve, and double hooks sitting close along the body so the lure passes light grass with less exposure than a treble-hook lure. No lure is completely snag-free. The action walks, glides and pops across the surface.

The difference is not just size. The 8.7g standard is the heaviest 4cm frog in this range and packs more mass per unit of body than the Junior, so it casts a long way for its length, punches through wind and rides lower in the film — a bigger, wetter wake, suited to open pad fields, reservoir margins and stained water. The 6.3g Junior floats higher for its volume, holds a clean action at slower speeds and skates over duckweed instead of pressing into it, but 6.3g is short-to-medium range only. Fish the standard to cover water; fish the Junior in drains, canal corners and pockets, and when a bigger frog is followed and refused.

Key Features

• Two sizes: 4cm / 8.7g standard and 3.5cm / 6.3g Junior
• Realistic bullfrog body with natural colour and skin pattern
• Flexible silicone skirt produces vibration and visual attraction on the retrieve
• Close-fitting double-hook configuration reduces snagging in light vegetation
• Standard size: longest cast and biggest wake of the pair
• Junior size: higher float, slower workable speed, tighter placement
• Walking, gliding and popping surface action
• Three colour patterns in both sizes

How To Fish It

• Standard 4cm, steady wake — Wind at a constant speed so the 8.7g body pushes a visible V across open weed and pad flats. This is the size to fan-cast an unknown bank.
• Junior 3.5cm, slow crawl — Wind as slowly as you can while the body keeps moving. The Junior holds its action at speeds the standard cannot sustain, which is what turns cold or heavily fished water.
• Walk the dog — Rod tip low with a little slack, twitch evenly so the body swings down a grass edge. Both sizes walk; the Junior needs softer input.
• Twitch and long pause — Two short twitches, then stop for three seconds or more while the skirt keeps breathing. Most takes come during the stop.
• Set late — Neither body compresses, so striking at the splash pulls the lure clear. Keep winding through the blow-up, wait for weight to load the rod, then sweep sideways.

Target Species By Region

• Southeast Asia — Giant snakehead (toman) on weeded reservoir margins for the 4cm; striped snakehead (haruan) in paddy drains for the Junior; peacock bass in lily pockets; hampala barb (sebarau) on weed lines.
• North America — Largemouth bass over pads and matted grass; chain pickerel and bowfin in swamps and backwaters; northern snakehead in tidal creeks.
• Japan & East Asia — Snakehead (raigyo) in canals and irrigation ponds, bass over shallow reservoir weed, catfish (namazu) at dusk.
• Australia, Middle East & Europe — Saratoga and sooty grunter in billabongs and creek arms; perch and pike over weed in European lakes and canals.
