Rebel Frog-R Lure – Leopard Frog, 2 3/8 in, 5/16 oz | Topwater Bass Lure

Overview

Meet the Rebel Frog-R Lure in Leopard Frog, a compact topwater bait that mimics a young frog—one of bass’s favorite foods. At 2 3/8 inches and 5/16 ounce, it rides just beneath the surface, delivering a subtle wake and a slim silhouette that stays highly castable in tight quarters. The realistic finish and proportions resemble a natural, water-loving prey, helping the lure hold fast attention on sunny days or in shaded pockets along the bank.

The Leopard Frog color pattern delivers lifelike contrast, with a texture that hints at movement and a hint of life beneath the surface. This combination makes the Frog-R a versatile option for productive topwater sessions across varied water clarity and cover conditions.

Why it works

• The lifelike frog profile mirrors a common bass forage, aiding quick recognition by active or curious fish.
• When you twitch the rod tip downward in a twitch-twitch-twitch rhythm, the lure sashay-sashays and walks the water in a classic walk-the-dog action, a proven trigger for strikes across multiple species.
• The compact, smaller silhouette reduces bulk in clear water or around shallow cover, making it ideal for pond bass and near-edge ambush spots.
• Built for reliability, the lure uses a #6 treble hook and a realistic finish that enhances topwater hookups during active retrieves.

How to fish it

• Cast toward pads, docks, weed edges, or shoreline structure where bass often wait for surface prey.
• Adopt a rhythm of quick twitches followed by short pauses to provoke responses from lingering or inactive fish.
• Keep a light line and gentle pressure to maintain surface contact and let the Frog-R execute its walking action naturally.

Real-life use cases

Designed for pond bass and other topwater opportunities, this lure excels when a smaller profile can tempt surface grabs. It pairs well with light tackle and works across calm mornings, breezy afternoons, and intermediate water conditions where surface activity is visible or suspected.
