I was told they used these up north to troll for walleye.

Those look less like fishing lures and more someone attached treble hooks to a pair of ear-plugs.

  Actually they made a size bigger than this also.

   Got one of those Al and it works well :) .   It isn't as sharp pointy as yours is. I like it because it does not kill the frogs. I put them in a mesh bag and throw in a bucket in a spare fridge. The cold frogs will be ready to knock in the head and clean in the am.

I really miss froggin'.  My mom loved frog legs more than anything, and every year just before the 4th of July we'd go get a huge mess.  Mom would get all liquored up, spread newspaper on the kitchen floor and wait for us to get home.  We'd walk in all muddy and stinking, and there she'd be sitting cross-legged on the kitchen floor drunker than a hoot owl with a knife and a pair of pliers.  Good times!  

You can really only appreciate that if you knew how prissy and professional my mom was.  She'd go full Redneck over a mess of frogs though. ?

Went frogging a couple of times with my granddad, back when I was 10 or so.  Went at night on the ditches in the MO Bootheel.  He and a buddy would scull a john boat down those ditches, they were narrow enough you could gig frogs on both sides.  I was too young to do anything but ride along, but it was fun for a 10 year old.  They had those old smelly carbide headlamps to light up the frogs, you'd look for their eyes reflecting the light. 

And grandma knew how to fry those frog legs.  Good stuff.
