Quick take
A soft hollow-body frog that combines buzzing blades with paddle tails for erratic topwater action.
The Black Rattler Blitz Buzz Phrog is a 3.5-inch hollow body frog built for topwater work on bass, pike and muskie. Its rubber paddle tails buzz on a steady retrieve, and a stop-and-go pause suits fishing through tight cover. It is a fit for anglers who want a dark-bodied frog-style topwater bait.
