Frogger

"I figured something out last season to help me get a better hook up percentage too.  I started using a Gamakatsu G stinger hook looped on the main hook and pointed upwards.  It stays pretty weedless and helps on those short strikes." -PoorBoy

I appreciate this advice, I missed about 75% of them last week with a scum frog and was really frustrated. I was going to post up and look for advice but now I found some. Using a MH rod with 40lb PowerPro. I tried setting the hook right away, letting them take it for a few seconds, and nothing was working. I will try adding some sort of trailer hook.

For the Zoom toads I have been using these: http://www.daiichihooks.com/products/copperhead_hooks.html  Zoom even has some hooks like these too.
This year I got some of these to try, have not tried yet so no feedback: http://www.daiichihooks.com/products/butt_dragger.html
Also I have had the best luck with the white horny toads.

Hey,? New guy here,? ?

I have been using the Mann's Phat Phrog on a pond near me and having good luck.? I found them at Wally World in Howell.? They have a Bismuth weight in the bottom to keep them upright and because they float high they really seem to attract interest from our target,? Bass.? Being a traditionalist I choose frogs that look like a frog. They are hollow and will waterlog but you will get used to re-adjusting the back plug and squeezing out? water.? ?I tried the Dean Rogas in White and not one look on the pond I fish.? I found a few Dean Rogas at Gander Mountain in Novi they also had quite a few Chatterbaits.? Go to Land Big Fish and put in "Frog",? You will see a bunch of new frog types.?

The Mann's Super Frog looks good as does the Reaction Innovations Swamp Donkey.

I have only started to play with these things, but this weekend I was up on Douglas Lake for a tournament and saw how well they can work.  One of the guys in the club was up in a shallow bay throwing a soft plastic topwater frog into the reeds and getting blown up all over the place.  The guy ended up burning for the tournament, but he had a ball pulling in short fish after short fish on that frog.  Guess he lost a keeper at the boat, but I've never seen a guy come to the ramp with nothing and yet be so happy.  He said at the end of the day he was getting bit on every other cast into the reeds......
