The Filthy Frog from Googan Squad is a hollow-bodied topwater bait that cleans up in the slop. Its weedless design allows you to drag this bait through the thickest cover, and the bait's narrow-body presents a perfect frog profile. The Filthy Frog is weighted, so you can cast it far and cover plenty of water. The body is designed to keep water out and stay balanced during your retrieve. The rubber legs give this bait a lively action; they're fastened to the bait from the inside to prevent them from falling out, even after the harsh treatment dished out by aggressive bass, pike, or other frog-loving species. When the water temps are warm, look for areas with shallow water vegetation and deploy the Filthy Frog. It will be disgusting.

This Frog can walk the walk! With your rod tip pointed down, apply quick twitches on a slackline. This technique imparts the ''walk the dog'' action popular in topwater lures. Every Filthy Frog's hook is wrapped tightly with plastic tubing to help prevent water seeping into your frog. 

Gear Recommendations:

Googan Squad Braided Line 40-65lb 

Medium-heavy to heavy casting rods with fast action

7.1:1 - 8.1:1 gear ratio casting reel

Pro Tip: Always wait a second before setting the hook on a hollow body frog. A short pause gives the fish time to fully take the bait, while providing you time for a strong hookset. Also, you can trim one of the Filthy Frogs skirted legs shorter than the other to increase the bait’s walking ability!

Remember this bait is for finesse applications. So, fish with light gear and remember to stay patient as you slowly work your bait. Often times less is more when fishing a Ned Rig style bait so chill out and let the Googan Baits Rattlin' Ned do the work for you.

The Googan Squad Clickbait is a hybrid vibrating jig with the flash of a bladed jig. The swimming action of a scrounger, and a unique sound and vibration that fish have never felt. listen for the distinctive Clickbait Clack when the lure's blade bangs off the leading metal beads and wire. Use a simple straight retrieve and crush shallow water fish all season long. This Googan Squad Clickbait has a unique head blade design that allows you to use a fast retrieval while keeping it down in the strike zone.

The Googan Squad Zinger is a double-bladed spinnerbait designed to bump, bang, and zing off cover and grass. The Zinger is designed to be fished around docks, stumps, and brush while also streamlining through the veggies with ease. Each Zinger features a strong wire framework, stout hook, and a flashy Colorado and willow blade. 

The Googan Squad Zinger has a hand-tied skirt fastened around a sticky sharp Mustad hook. To help prevent line slippage, the Zinger also features a pre-rigged rubber knot stopper to keep your line from sneaking down the wire of the bait. 

Pro Tip: Bump your Zinger against hard cover like docks, brush, laydowns, and trees to help create reaction strikes from fish holding tight to the cover. This technique helps create a reaction strike from fish who may likely not have bitten otherwise. Look for areas with shallow grass, cover, or feeding fish and work your Zinger using an erratic retrieve, slowing down in cool water while speeding up in warmer conditions.

Gear Recommendations:

Line: Googan Squad Fluorocarbon/Monofilament 12-20lb or 30-50lb Braided Line

Rod: Medium to medium-heavy power rod with a fast action

The Googan Squad Blooper is a topwater popper that will crash and splash it's way across the water's surface. Designed with a cupped mouth for maximum splash and “bloop” sounds, it features two needlepoint hooks with a feathered back hook. The belly of each Blooper is outfitted with a set of Rumble Strips, which increases drag and surface disturbance.

Point your rod tip down and apply quick snaps to your rod tip to get your Blooper to sing loudly and call in fish from a distance. This technique will help resemble the action of a fleeing baitfish being chased to the surface of the water.

For a slower and more subtle approach, make short sweeps with your rod tip allowing the bait to gently plop at the surface of the water. This will help you mimic the action of a baitfish feeding at the water's surface. The cooler the water, the longer the pauses.

Gear Recommendations:

Line: Googan Squad Monofilament 8-15lb or 15-30lb Braided Line
Rod: Medium power casting or spinning rod
Reel: Casting or spinning reel with a moderate retrieval speed 

Pro Tips: Use the Googan Squad Blooper when fishing tight to cover or shaded areas. The ability to barely move this bait and create a subtle plop will help you get bites from fish holding tight to cover.
