DOUBLE HOOK
STACKED LEGS
The 4/0 Gamakatsu EWG double
hook has a big bite.
sPRO arranged the legs this
way to add to the bait’s walking
ability, while still providing a
double tail for attraction.
THE SPIT CUP
The unique popping cup design on
the nose spits water when the bait
is twitched.
Performance Advice
The action of the frog is totally dependent on the angler
delivering the proper cadence. Using a rod that’s too long can
hamper your ability to accomplish this and wear you down.
The rod should also have a heavy action with a fast tip to pro-
vide sufficient backbone for horsing fish out of thick cover and
launching long casts. I use a heavy-power, fast-action, 7-foot
st. croix Legend Tournament Bass rod in combination with all
my hollow-body frogs, and it likewise worked great with the
spit shad.

HITS & MISSES
+ Easy to walk
+ Works in thick cover or open water
+ High-quality hooks
+ Casts easily
+ Soft, but durable collapsible body that
hooks up well
+ Large color variety to imitate shad,
bream and herring
– Only one size available for now
APPLICATIONS
spit, pop or walk – sPRO designed its new frog to
do all three.
The spit shad works well for coaxing strikes around shallow grass, pads
and bushes where you wouldn’t dare throw a traditional surface lure. It’s a
great tool for fishing around bluegill beds or docks and retaining walls
when a shad spawn is in progress.
I didn’t get the opportunity to throw it around schooling fish, but my
guess is the walking action is just right for them to crush it.
