Spro Flappin Frog 65 5/8 Green Pumpkin

The Spro Flappin Frog 65 is a hollow body topwater frog designed to deliver aggressive surface action in heavy cover. At 2½ inches and 5/8 ounce, this Green Pumpkin pattern combines the weedless design anglers expect from a soft-plastic frog with the commotion and appeal of a reaction-style topwater lure. The paddle legs generate a buzzing and kicking motion that mimics struggling prey, cutting through weeds and vegetation where bass and pike hunt without hanging up on submerged obstacles.

If you've used traditional buzzbaits or prop-style topwater lures but wanted to fish them through dense grass, cattails, or lily pads without constant hang-ups, the Flappin Frog bridges that gap. The hollow body design rides high and weedless over the gnarliest cover, while those fluttering legs do the work of keeping things loud and noisy below the surface film. Green Pumpkin is a proven shallow-water color that works across seasons and water conditions—dark enough to throw a silhouette in stained water, detailed enough to look natural in clear conditions.

This is a lure for anglers who don't mind fishing heavy. Throw it around downed timber, matted vegetation, and shallow grass beds where bigger fish hide. Pair it with a rod and reel rated for topwater work, set the hook hard when you get a bite, and be ready for the head-shaking chaos that topwater frogs are famous for.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best rod and reel for throwing a frog like the Flappin Frog 65?

Use a medium-heavy to heavy topwater rod (6½ to 7½ feet) paired with a baitcaster or conventional reel. Topwater frogs demand backbone for reliable hook sets and the ability to move the lure with purpose. A rod rated for topwater use and capable of handling 15- to 20-pound fluorocarbon or braid is ideal.

Can I fish this frog in areas with heavy vegetation and lily pads?

Yes. The hollow body design is weedless by nature, designed specifically to ride over and through dense cover—grass, cattails, and matted vegetation—without snagging. That's the core advantage of a hollow body frog over topwater hard lures.

What water conditions and seasons does Green Pumpkin work best in?

Green Pumpkin is a versatile shallow-water color that performs year-round. The color offers good visibility in stained or tannic water while maintaining a natural appearance in clearer conditions, making it reliable during spring, summer, and early fall when frog fishing is most productive.
