Sure you could just go out and buy a frog gig at your local sporting goods store. But where’s the fun in that? If you’re the DIY type you can easily make your own frog gig. Here’s how:
You’ll need:
-A long strong pole (wood or metal)
-A sharp narrow blade (a knife or an old-fashioned mowing blade will work)
-Some wire or string
-A piece of cloth or leather
To make the gig:
1. Attach the blade to the end of the pole making sure that it’s securely fastened.
2. If using wire create a handle on the other end of the pole by wrapping the wire around it several times. If using string tie the string around the end of the pole to create a handle.
3. Place the cloth or leather over the blade securing it with the wire or string. This will help to keep the blade from harming the frog when you gig it.
To use the gig:
1. Look for frogs near bodies of water such as ponds lakes or streams.
2. Approach the frog quietly and slowly so as not to startle it.
3. Once you’re close enough thrust the gig into the water near the frog.
4. The frog will likely try to jump away but if you’ve timed your gig correctly you’ll be able to catch it by the leg or body.
5. Carefully remove the frog from the water and place it in a bag or container.
6. Repeat steps 1-5 until you’ve caught the desired number of frogs.
And that’s it! With your very own DIY frog gig you’ll be able to go out and catch frogs anytime you want. Just be sure to follow the steps above carefully so as not to harm the frogs.
