When I fish solid soft plastic frogs on top, they sometimes return with one leg. Sometimes they return with no legs. I bring these wounded warriors into my workshop and perform plastic surgery.
The operation starts by cutting a 0.25″ deep slot on the end of a curly tail grub via utility knife. I then fuse the curly tail grub onto the leg stub via adhesive. I use a clip to hold the new leg in place while the adhesive dries.
When fish amputate both legs and I have no stubs to work with, I use metal instead of glue. I connect new appendages via inter-connected Owner Centering Pin Springs.
Frankenstein frogs are a great way to extend the life of your solid soft plastic frogs. Fish eat pretty frogs. Fish eat ugly frogs. Fish Frankenstein Frogs! 🙂
