Pike frogs

I’ve tried tying frogs in the past, but normally, it was just a fun thing to do, because once I tried fishing with them, it was a tragedy.

 

Like this one for example. It hangs very nicely in the water, like a real frog, but once you start stripping it… well let’s say a Barbie doll will catch more fish.

 

But I’ve been playing with this polypropylene fibre again tonight, and I think, this frog might actually catch pike.

 

I just tied in two strands with a knot at the feet, built up a body (and cut into shape), and added some doll eyes.

 

I’ve coloured the back with a permanent marker, but I’ll try tying the next one with different colours of fibre...
