"Flippin' the Bird"


        With so many new realistic Hollow Body Frog Baits coming out lately, you might have forgotten about this frog bait with an attitude. No frog collection is complete without "Flippin' the Bird". It's really in a class of its own. 
In spring/summer wherever there's tules, you will see the easily identifiable Red Winged Black Birds. And Flippin' the Bird is a perfect rendition of these flying Mc Nuggets. I've had real RWBB's swooping down at me thinking I had one of there own on my line, more than once.
Casting into the tules, making a big commotion, and the baits tendency to right itself in the water is usually all that is needed to elicit a strike. 
It can be used at night to represent a downed bat. 

I like to trim the rubber strands to the shape of wings and a split tail to further its bird like appeal. 

This bait will stand out when the frog bite is in full swing at your local waters. It's definitely a classic!
