Quick take

A 2.5-inch black pork frog rind with flexible legs, ideal as a jig trailer or topwater trailer.

The Uncle Josh #11 Pork Frog in black comes three to a pack and measures 2.5 inches long. Its chunky body and beveled face with thin legs give it a frog-like look in lighter colors and a crawfish profile in darker ones. It is made to trail a jig for bass and northern pike, and the brand traces back to 1922 in Wisconsin.

Best for

  • Jig and pig combinations for bass and pike
  • Topwater presentations where bulk and flash matter
  • Anglers who want the unique action of organic pork

Skip if

  • You prefer soft plastics; they stay on better than pork
  • You don't trailer jigs; pork works best as an extra element

Strengths

  • Flexible thin legs kick and flutter on any retrieve
  • Black color mimics crawfish for pike and bass
  • Pork has a scent that appeals to fish

Trade-offs

  • Pork rind is sticky and absorbs water; becomes heavy when wet
  • Organic material deteriorates over time; store carefully
  • Legs fray and tangle; expect to replace regularly

About this type

A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.

Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.

Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
