A faster presentation keeps it working across the surface, while changing retrieve speed can bring the frog just below the water. The paddle legs provide action and vibration throughout the retrieve.

The connection fits the bait's job: move across bass territory with a weedless presentation and reach fish holding around vegetation and cover.
