The HT Frog Gig 5 Tine is a classic hand tool built for frog gigging, the traditional method of hunting frogs in shallow water and wetlands. If you're a frog hunter who respects the old-school approach—wading at night with a light and a sharp gig—this five-tine design gives you the spread and penetration needed to land your catch cleanly and securely. It's straightforward, proven gear that works when you know what you're doing.
A five-tine gig distributes the strike across multiple sharp points, improving your odds of a solid hookset and making it less likely for a frog to slip free once you've made contact. Whether you're hunting cypress swamps, beaver ponds, or slow-moving creeks, the five-tine configuration balances reach with maneuverability in tight vegetation.
HT Enterprises has been making frog gigs for generations, and they're the trusted name among hunters who take frog gigging seriously. This is no decorative wall piece—it's a functional tool designed to perform night after night during frog season.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's a frog gig used for?
A frog gig is a handheld spearing tool used to hunt frogs in shallow water, creeks, ponds, and swamps. Hunters typically wade at night with a headlamp, spotting frogs by their eyes and gigging them with quick, controlled strokes.
Why five tines instead of fewer?
The five-tine spread increases your chances of a clean strike by covering more area and anchoring the frog securely once penetrated, reducing escape.
Is this tool legal where I hunt?
Frog gigging regulations vary by state and season. Check your local fish and wildlife regulations before hunting; some areas have specific rules about methods, seasons, and size limits.
