Pro-Z Baits T-Fitz Poppin Frog
Fitzgerald Rods founder Trevor Fitzgerald – with the help of some giant Florida bass – perfected the Pro-Z Baits T-Fitz Poppin Frog, a spitting image of the real thing. Dual VMC hooks hug the frog’ s soft body to ensure that it stays weedless, but are exposed instantly on the hookset. The frog has extra-long legs that can be trimmed with scissors to suit. Colors include white shad, firetiger, Scooby-Doo( a caramel-colored underbelly with dark back), and black and blue. $ 8.99
