Hollow Body

Topwater Hollow Body Frog Lures

Hollow body lures are a proven choice for anglers targeting fish holding in heavy cover, weed beds, lily pads, timber and surface structure. Featuring a soft collapsible body and weedless hook design, these topwater lures can be worked across areas where conventional lures would constantly snag.

Popular with bass, Murray cod, saratoga and barramundi anglers, hollow body frogs create an enticing surface disturbance that draws explosive strikes from aggressive predators. Their snag-resistant design allows anglers to confidently fish tight structure, making them a valuable option whenever fish are buried deep in cover.

Available in a range of sizes, colours and frog-style profiles, hollow body lures can be retrieved with a steady crawl, walked across the surface or paused beside structure to trigger reaction bites.

How To Choose Hollow Body Lures

Select lure size based on your target species and the size of local bait or frogs. Smaller models are ideal for bass and estuary species, while larger hollow bodies suit Murray cod and barramundi. Dark colours perform well in low light, while natural and brighter patterns are effective during daylight conditions. Consider body shape, leg design and hook strength when fishing dense cover.
