Frog-Style Baits are suggested for use during which seasons?

Frog-style baits are particularly effective during late spring, summer, and early fall due to the behavior of bass and other predatory fish during these warmer months. During this time, fish are more actively feeding in shallow waters and among vegetation, making them more likely to strike at a bait that mimics the movement of frogs or other amphibians. As water temperatures rise, aquatic vegetation becomes lush, providing cover for fish, and frog-style baits can be worked effectively across these areas to entice strikes.

In the colder months of winter and early spring, fish metabolism slows down significantly; they tend to move to deeper waters and are less likely to strike at surface lures like frog baits. Similarly, while fall can be a transitional period, the prime opportunities for using frog-style baits remain more concentrated in the warmer weather when fish are more aggressive and feeding heavily. Thus, the late spring through early fall timeframe is optimal for utilizing frog-style baits effectively.
