Carpenter : Sea Frog SF120 Twinhook vs Sea Frog SF110 Type-LQ vs Sea Frog Evo II 105

 In 2010/11 the 1st version of Sea Frog was released and later in Dec 2014 2nd version was made to public.  It was one of the most sought after lure due to its performance and rarity.  

In  May 2021, another version of Sea Frog was made i.e. Sea Frog Evo II 105.  Not many can have their hands on these lures due to Covid pandemic this time and its limited quantity of international release.

Size 165mm. Weight about 104g. Compatible hook 11g. Split ring 250lb. Seafrog evo.II 105 is a model modified to lighten the pull of " Seafrog evo.I " released in 2008. The body size is almost the same as "SEA FROG 120 " released in 1996.

SF120 Twinhook vs SF110 Type-LQ


All three lures using 11g treble hooks e.g. Decoy Saltwater 6/0.
I have yet to sea trial the SF110 LQ, but I really love the action of SF120 TH, where I can pop, and chug and make loud "BLOOP" with it.

As for rods, I think all three SF lures will compatible with at least 33lb class Carpenter rods e.g. SLP80/33 and easily chug with PJ80/36, EP82/38, CV79/40 and F3 711/40 using min PE6 90lb mainline and 170lb leader.
