Panther Martin Pro Frog 5/8oz Frog Yellow Belly
The Panther Martin Pro Frog 5/8oz Frog Yellow Belly is a soft-body frog lure built for bass and pike anglers who want a topwater option that behaves like the real thing. At five-eighths ounce, it casts far enough to reach deep structure and distant cover, then floats in the upright position that bass expect—with eyes riding just above the waterline so predators see the silhouette they're hunting. The realistic kick and action mimic a struggling frog, triggering aggressive strikes from both largemouth and pike in shallow to medium-depth water.
What sets this frog apart is its reliable landing position. Every cast, it settles belly-down in the strike zone rather than rolling or listing—something that matters more than it sounds when you're working lily pads, vegetation, and fallen timber. That consistent presentation means you're fishing effectively, not fighting your lure. The yellow belly coloring is a proven high-visibility pattern in stained to clear water, especially in low-light conditions and under cloud cover.
This is a frog for anglers who take topwater seriously: whether you're fishing early morning, late evening, or overcast days when bass move shallow to hunt. Pair it with a medium to medium-heavy rod, braided line for better hooksets, and be ready for explosive strikes—frogs don't get subtle takes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size rod and line should I use with the Panther Martin Pro Frog?
A medium to medium-heavy rod works best with this lure. Braided line is recommended for better hook penetration and to cut through cover—frogs are often fished around weeds and timber where you need the extra strength and sensitivity.
Will this frog work in heavy vegetation and lily pads?
Yes. The upright floating design and soft-body construction make it effective in and around weeds, pads, and fallen trees where bass hunt for real frogs. Work it with short jerks and pauses to trigger strikes.
What water conditions are best for the yellow belly pattern?
The yellow belly shows up well in low-light situations, stained water, and overcast days. It's also effective in clear water where the high-visibility pattern matches the natural frogs bass see in shallow areas.
