Scum Frog 5/16oz Black-Yellow/Black

The Scum Frog 5/16oz Black-Yellow/Black is a hollow body topwater frog built to fish the thick stuff—weedbeds, lily pads, and brush that would shut down other lures. Southern Lure Baits designed this frog with a completely weedless hook placement, so it slides over vegetation and around obstacles without hanging or fouling on moss and debris. If you target largemouth and smallmouth bass in weedy lakes, shallow ponds, or creek systems choked with cover, this is the kind of lure that opens up water other anglers skip.

The weedless design doesn't mean wimpy. The Scum Frog's super soft, hollow body compresses and releases with every twitch and pop, creating the commotion that triggers aggressive topwater strikes. That soft body also cushions the bite—a safety feature for lighter line and thinner rod blanks. Cast it tight to cover, let it sit for the strike, then work it with sharp strips and pauses to mimic distressed baitfish or crawdads.

At 5/16 ounce, this frog casts far enough for open water but still lands softly in shallow margins where bass hide. The black-yellow color combo tracks well in stained and murky water, making it a reliable choice whether you're fishing early morning, late evening, or overcast days when topwater action peaks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this frog work in heavy weeds and vegetation?

Yes. The Scum Frog's weedless design is specifically engineered to slide over and around dense weeds, lily pads, limbs, and stumps without hanging up or picking up moss—it's built to fish places other topwater lures can't.

What size bass does the 5/16oz frog catch?

We don't have data on preferred bass species or size ranges in the product record. Topwater frogs generally appeal to aggressive strikers; we'd recommend checking reviews or contacting our team for real-world reports on this lure's track record.

What's the color pattern good for?

The black-yellow/black combination tracks well in stained and murky water, making it visible to bass in low-light conditions and off-color water where contrast matters.

Is this a topwater lure?

Yes. The Scum Frog is designed for topwater fishing, delivering surface action and commotion that triggers strikes from aggressive bass in shallow cover.
