Title: Frog Rack
Post by: jsbass on 01/09/11 12:57 UTC
Hi Guys,

Just thought I would share this idea I came up with for hanging frogs after they were dipped.

1/4" dowel rods are spaced 5/8" apart and 1" between hangers. I think the next one I make will be spaced 1/2" apart for the legs.

Any creative ideas anyone else wants to share?

Jack

Care to mention your eye supplier? I have mostly bought mine from Bog and after about 3 days, the red starting bleeding onto the bait. I had them on a white bait to test.

I buy them from Lurecraft.  They are kind of expensive, but worth it.

I will try and find out who the manufactue is. Maybe we can get Jason to carry them!

just a quick question...so you hand dip each frog then hang it in the rack to dry?

Great idea! That rack would work with anything that has a boottail; like Jason's new swimbait!! Now if we could come wp with something for the was-its. I thought about running a common pin through the tail and hanging them with that, but that would take some time. Guess I'll just throw them in a pan of water after dipping. (what I do now)

For the Wutz-its someone suggested using clothes pins (like you hang clothes with outside to dry) and just clipping the tail to hold it.  I thought that was a really good, quick and inexpensive idea. 

Plus, it's will give your wife one more thing to get after you about after you have already taken all her pyrex, cookie sheets, foil, microwave, several pots, and now her clothes pins!   ;D

What a cool idea. I wonder if I could do something like that to hang my Trick worms on (by the runners). Currently, I just hang them on a Rubbermaid Shelf.

Since nobody else asked, I will. Why do you hang your trick worms?
