Sakura Bubble Frog 70 F – 70mm 19.5g

Sakura Bubble Frog 70 F: The Ultimate Topwater “Plopper” Frog

Experience heart-stopping surface strikes in the thickest cover with the Sakura Bubble Frog 70 F. This isn’t just another hollow-body frog; it is a high-tech hybrid that combines the weedless capabilities of a soft frog with the aggressive acoustic signature of a “plopper” or buzzbait.

Designed for power fishing in congested environments, the Bubble Frog features a unique rotating PVC paddle tail mounted on a high-quality stainless steel ball-bearing swivel. At the slightest movement, the tail spins to create a distinctive “plopping” sound and a trail of bubbles that draws predators out from deep within weed beds. The zinc alloy belly weight ensures the lure always lands upright and remains stable during high-speed retrieves, all while remaining 100% lead-free.

Technical Specifications

Key Performance Features

• Dual-Action Attraction: The Bubble Frog offers a unique sound profile that sits midway between a traditional buzzbait and a “Whopper Plopper.” This dual vibration is incredibly effective at triggering territorial strikes from Pike and Bass.

• Retractable Hook System: The double hook is designed to sit tight against the lure’s body, allowing it to slide over lily pads and wood without snagging. When a fish strikes, the hollow body collapses instantly to expose the ultra-sharp points.

• Instant Start Tail: Thanks to the premium ball-bearing swivel, the tail starts spinning the moment you begin your retrieve. This is critical for working small pockets of open water within large weed mats.

• Enhanced Visuals: The 2026 model features high-detail Sakura 3D eyes and a robust, “body-built” construction that stands up to the most violent surface attacks.

Where to Use the Bubble Frog 70 F

• Heavy Lily Pads & Duckweed: This lure thrives where others fail. Cast it directly into the thickest vegetation and “walk” or “plop” it back. The weedless design keeps you fishing efficiently in the “jungle.“

• Summer Pike Fishing: On hot days, Pike often hold deep in the shade of weed beds. The aggressive bubbling action of this frog is often the only way to irritate them enough to strike.

• Overhanging Trees and Scrub: Use the 19.5g weight to “skip” the frog deep under overhanging branches—places where standard lures with exposed hooks could never go.

• Low-Visibility Conditions: The “plopping” sound provides a strong acoustic trail, making it a top choice for dawn, dusk, or when the water is stained by summer algae blooms.

Gerry’s Tip: Don’t strike the second you see the splash! When a fish hits a frog on the surface, wait for about one second until you feel the weight of the fish on the rod before setting the hook. This allows the fish to fully compress the hollow body, ensuring the retractable hooks find a solid hold
