#4495, "Osprey Frog"
|
I picked this thing up on E-Bay. Not sure what to do with it? Anyone ever fished one?
This thing is a beast! I put it next to a 9" Slammer for a comparison. It weighs in at an even 5 oz. I'm gonna have to play with the hook setup a bit. All it has is a rubber tube inserted inside that you run the line through. You put it in the nose and out the bottom. It came with a size 1 treble on a swivel. That's not gonna cut it. I might try to run some seven strand wire through there and attach a swivel to the top half with a little slack to help keep from tearing the bait on the hookup. Oh...there will be a hookup, eventually }(

That's cool...I only paid the guy $5 + shipping, so it's no big loss. I think maybe I'll 'disect' it!
Maybe I could hollow out the body, lay a piece of heat resistant plastic across the bottom and then repour some plastic over it? The things so big, I could cut a hole in it and put a bobber in there to help it float! :P

Dane, thanks for the info. The closest hobby shop is about 1 1/2 hrs away, but if I go that way I'll check it out. Really thanks for the compliment!! I hope to get the rest of my baits and colors up soon. It's a lot of work!
