For those still asking questions or commenting on the "Pitchfork" frog gigging point here a few lessons learned from this season.

1. Not my original idea just modified a version I seen on You Tube to a stronger size wire for durability and matching them up with the inserts for ease of use.

2. As for weight, it can be adjusted by just reducing or increasing the width or length of the heads.

3.  As for Best size, it has proven out for me and the others I hunt with that a width of 2 1/4" wide x 2 1/4" long and the center point at 2 1/2" works best.  We shoot through a lot of tangles and water reeds etc.. and the smaller head just hangs up less but is devastating when it hit    :readit:  

4.  When you bend them, you will at some point use pliers to re-shape and spin test for trueness. This is important, if not true they will nosedive.
Everything I have and have become is due to the Lord and his great mercy.
