I've been working on some frogs for bass season. I pattern my frogs after the plastic frogs the dark side bass fishermen use. I have them in medium and large size. Decided I needed a smaller one for the early season.

I was watching a show this past weekend on one of the outdoor channels. The bass guys were fishing a popping plastic frog. Looked interesting. This is what I came up with.
