Length and weight together make it the all-rounder. The 5.5cm shell shows a full-size frog silhouette and swings wide on a twitch, while 13g spread over that longer body means it floats higher than the shorter, heavier New Mash Frog — it holds a surface action at slower speeds, sits up on the pause, and still carries enough mass for accurate casts to weed edges and grass lines. The realistic body has detailed skin texture, prominent eyes and natural colour patterns, and the silicone skirt pulses behind it. A rear double hook sits close along the body, so it travels around light grass and vegetation with less hook exposure than a fully exposed treble. No lure is completely snag-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTopwater frog, 5.5cm and 13g — the longest body in the Mash Frog family\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRealistic frog body with detailed skin texture and prominent eyes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight spread over a longer shell, so it floats higher and works at slower speeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible silicone skirt adds vibration and movement through the retrieve and pause\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear double hook mounted close to the body for work around light cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuits steady, twitching and pause retrieves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree 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 surface swim\u003c\/strong\u003e — Wind at a constant unhurried speed for continuous surface movement.
