BnM Frog Gig 3 Tine 5"x1.5"

A frog gig is the traditional tool for night hunting and harvesting frogs in shallow water, and the BnM Frog Gig 3 Tine 5"x1.5" delivers the classic design anglers and hunters have relied on for generations. This three-tine gig head measures 5 inches across with 1.5-inch tines, sized for effective frog harvesting in marshes, ponds, and slow creeks. Whether you're after bullfrogs for the table or running a traditional frog hunt by light, a quality gig is an essential piece of gear that lets you work shallow cover with precision and control.

The three-tine design balances surface area with maneuverability, giving you enough spread to pin frogs reliably without being so wide that it becomes unwieldy in dense vegetation or tight quarters. This is straightforward, no-frills equipment—the kind of tool that works the same way season after season because there's simply no better way to gig frogs. Pair it with a sturdy handle or pole (sold separately) and you've got everything you need for a successful night on the water.

Frog gigging remains a legal and traditional harvest method in many regions during open seasons. Always check your local regulations, seasons, and licensing requirements before you head out. If you're new to gigging or planning your first frog hunt, talk to us or your state's wildlife agency about best practices and where to find active frogs in your area.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a frog gig used for?

A frog gig is designed for harvesting frogs in shallow water, typically at night using a light. The tined head allows you to quickly pin and secure a frog so you can bring it in or dispatch it. It's a traditional method still widely used for legal frog hunting where permitted.

What size handle or pole do I need?

The gig head itself is 5 inches across. You'll need to pair it with a handle or pole—the length depends on the water depth and conditions where you hunt, but 6 to 12 feet is common. The gig head attachment point will determine compatibility with your chosen handle.

Is gigging legal?

Frog gigging is legal in many states during designated seasons, but regulations vary widely. Always check your state's hunting and fishing regulations and obtain the proper licenses before you go. Contact your local wildlife agency or us for details on your area.
