BQ Frog
Dear Dealers of Nishine Lure Works,
We are very pleased to announce the North American debut of our newest product—the BQ Frog.
Earlier this year, we introduced the BQ Otama, our innovative tadpole-style waking bait. Building on that momentum, we are now proud to release the BQ Frog, a lure Hiroshi has spent over five years perfecting. His goal was simple but ambitious: to create a frog lure that is incredibly easy to use while still delivering the precision, responsiveness, and performance that experienced and expert frog anglers demand—all without requiring dedicated frog tackle.
“This lure is designed to perform whether or not you have specialized frog gear. It offers a uniquely versatile action that appeals to both beginners and seasoned frog-lure experts, making it an essential addition to any tackle box.”

Hiroshi Nishine’s Product Notes
BQ Frog Introduction – 1
Six color options are available—three natural patterns and three painted colors.

BQ Frog Introduction – 2 — Concept
The BQ Frog was developed with two key objectives:
-
Extremely easy to use
-
Exceptional hook-up ability
The lure delivers effortless walk-the-dog action and achieves a 90%+ hookup ratio when bass fully inhale it. Every component and detail has a purpose behind it. This performance level required more than five years of refinement.
BQ Frog Introduction – 3 — Action
The BQ Frog responds instantly to rod input, producing a sharp, quick walk-the-dog motion—even in tight spaces such as weed pockets.
Its unique action comes from three design elements:
-
A compact, wide, flat body that spins easily
-
Low-centered internal weights that act as a rotation axis
-
An upward-positioned tying wire that consistently initiates side-to-side sliding
These features produce aggressive strikes, which increase the likelihood of fish fully inhaling the lure—critical for frog fishing.
Why the BQ Frog hooks so well:
-
Compact body → easier for fish to inhale
-
Attractive action → triggers aggressive bites

BQ Frog Introduction – 4 — Special Dual-Mode Function
The BQ Frog can easily switch between two modes:
-
Normal Mode: Open Water → Light Cover
-
Heavy Cover Mode: Light Cover → Heavy Cover
Switching is simple and can be done on the water:
-
Pull out the weight → Normal Mode
-
Push in the weight → Heavy Cover Mode
This versatility helps anglers adapt instantly to changing cover conditions.


BQ Frog Introduction – 5 — Vent Slit System
The BQ Frog features a new type of vent system that works like a one-way valve. It opens only when a fish compresses the lure, allowing air and water to escape instantly.
Benefits:
-
Minimal water intrusion → no need to squeeze water out
-
Hollow body collapses more easily during a bite
-
Significantly improves hook-up ratio
This vent design was the final breakthrough in BQ Frog’s development—an idea that took years to perfect.
