Does anyone here got a good experience with frog hardbody/plastic surface lure? For murray cod.
Any recommendations?
When you say 'hardbody/plastic', I assume you are not talking about the soft bodied ones?

I have never used any frog lures, so at this stage, any...
If I was to pick one, whether be hardbody, soft body or sort plastic, what would it be.

I have given the Lunkerhunt frog (soft rubber...and may be a bit pricey but being a surface lure that doesn't concern me) a good go to no avail. It is very life like and I fish it with confidence but have not had any luck. It may be I am using it in the wrong location as no other surface lures have worked for me. Looking at your video...any frog may be worth a try!!

Atomic lures have made very similar lures to the megabass siglett. Frogleys offshore used to distribute megabass I believe

My favourite lure for cod is a kuttafurra 100mm ruthless paddler in green & black.
The price was right & I'm told it's an exclusive colour.
