The snag proof Delta tourney is just a few days away so I stayed up late last night fine tuning my frog selection.

Being that I only own 9 snag proof frogs, this did not take long... But I did concoct one totally top secret frog. Which I will now divulge all of the details on here. With Facebook consuming everyone's online time, no one reads the true Internet anyway right?

It started with a blue KC Dragonfly colored Bobby's Perfect frog. I picked the blue frog because the one time, 2 years ago, when I threw this blue frog, nothing would bite it under any circumstances. The thought of dragonflies mating with frogs probably have made the bass uncomfortable.

I selected the Bobby's Perfect frog because Bobby is the man on the Delta and any frog with his name on it is the frog you should be using at the Delta. Of my 9 snagproof frogs, 5 are Bobby's. Bobby has taken a good chunk of money from me over the years :)

With paper towel in hand, I took a bottle of white nail polish and went to work. Nail polish was probably a terrible idea for painting frogs, but it was the first white paint I found in my box-o-paints. This bottle was labeled as "White On". Get it?

With sloppy strokes I painted the belly and sides solid white. Just a bright, solid white. Then I removed the blue strands from the legs. Leaving only chartreuse.

Nothing personal against the blue strands, but white and chartreuse is just such a good delta color combo. I mean... it works on an LV 500 chartreuse shad so it should work on a frog - right?

After 2 coats of nail polish I opened the kitchen window, staggered away from the fumes, and let it dry. An hour later I picked it up to take a look and left a nice thumbprint on the belly. Talk about custom.

I considered autographing it and selling it on eBay as version #1 of the top secret blue and white derelict dragonfly special. But in the end it was so pretty I had to keep it.

My theory on this color is that it's the perfect topwater version of an LV 500 in chartreuse shad combined with a chrome blue speed trap from the right angle. Seems logical. Can't wait to try it in the tournament. It's been a few years since I've caught a frog fish so I'm getting pumped.

Photos later.

You are so gonna slay on the froggerfly combo. Don't forget to put your alka seltzer (tm) in the belly. Bassfishes are drawn to froggerflies that are farting.

Now with photo

Oh no, I just found out that there is a frog with a buzzbait blade in front of it and I don't have any. Crisis!!!

This is what happens when you fish for spotted bass too much. Your frog is 3/4s of the way to morning dawn.

I bet it will work, though :-)

I'm totally going to make a pink frog tonight. Keep hitting reload on this thread to see pictures.

Is it legal to fish two frogs at once? I remember seeing it in a magazine a few years ago and Tag Watson shot some video of his version earlier this summer. Tag tied on his first frog and left a ~2 foot long tag line off the knot. He tied the second frog to the end of the tag line. Tag's video showed that he was able to get both frogs walking on the retrieve.

Dude, I want a pink frog...with a buzz blade attached...and maybe so nail polish spots.

Lotta ins, lotta outs, lotta what have-yous

cv says he got the ultra top secret buzzbait frogs. Phew. Don't know if I will have time to paint any pink :( Bummed.

What's so funny about the frog tournament is that everyone spends all their time before the tournament trying to do things to the frogs to make them not be like the stock frog.

Maybe my stealth double-cross move will be use a stock frog.

>cv says he got the ultra top secret buzzbait frogs. Phew.

But did he pick up any of the super duper ultra top secret "Guntersville" version frogs?

What is that, the i Motion frog with no action? Heh.

How come check in ends at 9am and blast offs start at 11am? I can't wait to sit in my boat for 2 hours tomorrow morning baking in the sun :)

My nail polish frog was a total fail. Never paint frogs with nail polish.
