![The hollow-body Supernato floats like a regular frog, but it also has legs that sputter on a steady retrieve.</p>
<p>âThe Supernato is a hybrid between a frog and a toad bait,â Jocumsen said. âYou can work it many different ways. Or, you can just wind it in and big bass will eat it.â](http://develop.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/jocumsen03.jpg)

![It is a 1/2-ounce Bassman TW Series spinnerbait sporting tandem willow leaf blades and a translucent, shad-imitating skirt. Half of the lead weight is molded to the hookâs shaft under the skirt to give the spinnerbait a smaller profile. Jocumsen recommends this spinnerbait for clear water conditions.</p>
<p>âBassman spinnerbaits are made in Australia,â Jocumsen said. âThey became my first sponsor when I was 15 years old. The brown wire looks more natural to the fish, and it angles up from the head so the spinnerbait runs horizontally in the water.â](http://develop.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/jocumsen07.jpg)
