351.0. "Belly down or Belly up?" by JAWS::WIERSUM () Tue May 19 1987 14:15

    
    
    OK, So who's right?
     
    I say that when you install a Pork frog on a jig or a spoon or a
    whatever, the white side is down.  The logic being,  that is
    the way a fish would see a frog (white side down). 
                                
    I know that everyone has their own ideas on this but it would seem
    that one way is more commonly accepted than the other.
    
    Thanks for the thousands of comments

    I hook the pork from the flat side on a jig or spoon and have found
    that I have much more sensitivity to detect the light pickups that
    might happen . This also gives me a better run through the junk
    that I tend to fish .

    I too hook the pork from the flat side.. only 'cause it's easier
    to find the hole :-)..

    You got it buckwheat! Thats the way. Silver minnow works great,
    or of coarse the unckle josh kicker. Try it on buzz (spinner) baits.
    KILLER. Buy the way, you probably already know this but for the
    longest time I STRUGGLED to get those suckers on. Well there are
    several holes already in them if you look care fully put in by mr.
    josh.
         When are we going to fish for those uxbridge Bass? We could
    catch a few beers too!
