Description
A big tadpole for bass that key in on frogs
If there are frogs where you fish, there are tadpoles — and bass are eating them. The 4″ Pre-Rigged Tadpole is designed to resemble a large tadpole, making it an excellent choice for bass anglers during spring and early summer.
This bait fills the gap between smaller panfish tadpoles and oversized specialty baits, offering a realistic profile that bass recognize immediately.
How to fish the 4″ Pre-Rigged Tadpole
The Large Tadpole is simple and effective to fish:
-
Cast it toward shore or shallow cover
-
Work it as a jerk bait with short twitches
-
Let it swim naturally toward safety
-
Be ready — bass often strike aggressively near the bank
The lifelike movement imitates a real tadpole trying to escape, triggering reaction strikes in shallow water.
A different bait fish haven’t seen
Most soft plastic baits on the market come from the same molds. DeLong Lures uses unique mold modifications that give our baits a look and action fish don’t see every day.
That difference matters — especially in pressured waters.
Built the DeLong way
Every 4″ Pre-Rigged Tadpole is made using the same proven process DeLong Lures has used since 1946:
-
Hand-poured soft plastic for durability
-
One 3/0 hook molded in for solid hooksets
-
Anise scent mixed directly into the plastic so it lasts longer
-
Designed to outlast standard soft plastic baits
These lures are built to fish — not fall apart.
