Because of its construction, this frog doesnt come through heavy vegetation nearly as well as its pointed-nose cousin
Best color choices for clear water include: Silver and chrome finishes that perfectly mimic baitfish flash Light blue patterns that match clear sky reflection Natural green hues that blend with underwater vegetation Transparent or translucent lures that appear natural in any light Subtle shad patterns that precisely match local forage Smoke or pearl colorations for low-light conditions Watermelon and green pumpkin for bottom presentations Natural brown and crawfish patterns for mimicking crustaceans The key to success in clear water is subtle presentation and precise imitation of natural prey
