Shimmy Frog

RIO's Shimmy Frog is an innovative and highly effective fly designed to mimic the natural movements of a frog in distress. Created specifically for bass fishing, this fly is crafted to sit at about a 45-degree angle when at rest, with the eyes just at the water's surface, closely resembling a frog in a relaxed state. When a frog gets frightened or disturbed, it dives and swims away in an erratic, shaking motion. The Shimmy Frog replicates this behavior perfectly, using its unique design to shimmy and shake as it moves through the water. This realistic movement triggers the predatory instincts of bass, making it an irresistible pattern for anglers targeting these aggressive fish in shallow or weedy waters.

Mimic a Frog’s Escape: The key to fishing the Shimmy Frog effectively is mimicking the natural escape behavior of a frog. After casting, let the fly sit for a moment, then retrieve it with short, jerky strips that simulate a frightened frog diving and swimming away. This creates the shaking, shimmying motion that bass find irresistible.
