The trick with frogs (besides trimming the legs) is to wait a second or two before trying to hook set. Most fish will bite at their legs before sucking in the frog. The hooks on a frog lure are too high up to be in the mouth before the fish sucks the lure in, so waiting a second or two gives it the chance to get the hooks into the mouth.
The first frog I would trim the legs down some for the walking action and a little better hook up ratio Edit: same thing for the popping frog btw great video

Love this video, but I've never seen so many missed fish in my entire life. You have to let them take that frog a little longer than other topwaters so they can take the whole frog in.

Yes I almost cried I missed 10 bass in a hour off the frog cause I didn't let fish take it fully. It jumped everytime !!!
One thing I observed is that if you get a strike, you should wait for about 2 to 3 seconds before setting the hook, this allows the fish to position the frog better in it's about, thereby offering a better hook up ratio.
Lol I was at work watching this! Yelled at the phone for you to get up when that gator came after you!!!!! Everyone stopped and looked at me lol
Having fished multiple s in different sizes and colors, kzread.infoUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 this is by far my favorite. One thing to be aware of is the sided willow blade. One side is silver and the other is the green/orange shown. This is not bad, just unconventional. In terms of fishing, I have found the lure works just fine without a tail like a craw or shad. That addition is up to you. Also, the hook part where you attach the swivel snap or tie the line is a problem on baits these days, since it's able to slide up and down. However this lure seems to be tight enough that that doesn't happen often, and you can solve it by putting a thin slice of medical tube over the hook before attaching the line. Like others have said, it's really magic on a good windy day.
love the video!!!! frog fishing is one of the greatest things and that pond is the juice!!!!!!
Sick video. I have the lunker frog but haven't got to use it yet. Definitely going to pick up the zoom frog after watching this. Thanks for making awesome content
It's winter right now and I loved watching this video as it gives me my "fishing fix"...atleast for now 🤣

Great video. I agree with some comments below, trim the first two frogs rubber legs up and your hook up ratio will go up. Also try a medium heavy rod with extra fast tip, ratio goes through the roof. Enjoy.

hey man wait like 2 seconds before setting the hook i use frogs a lot just count 1 misisipi 2 misisipi and then set the hook good luck !
With the first frog I was wondering if you bend your hooks up a Lil bit ? Might help up thee old hookup ratio with that first frog also I'd like to thank you for your videos I've learned a few things from them...
First fish spinning around: "All good, take all the time you need broh"
I never fished topwater before, only recently started fishing lures and to make it all the better, ive only caught 1 bass in my life(while going for the local catfish) but i own a few frogs, 2 smaller hollow body frogs and a weird one,i got it from a friend(its an older bait) its a hollow body frog with those lunker style legs, i have no idea how to fish it but i think it'll work once i figure out how
Does Florida let you plant freedom seeds in alligators if they attack you?
please change the timer noise the alarm is so triggering to waking up for work😂😂 awesome video
Sorry coming late to this party. I've gone through a lot of different makes and models of soft frogs. I first started fishing again in 2008 with Scum Frog. It was okay. It got lots of strikes but didn't have much weight. I switched to another Scum Frog (Little Big Foot) . I switched to Stanley Ribbit and had a lot more action but the feet were ripped to shreds. Later, I went to Strike King Rage Tail. Lots of hits. Weak on the legs. I also have Strike King KVD. I edited that one to get the tassels shorter and it works. In all, the Stanley bait had the most action because of the feet. Which is why I'm interested in the Lunkerhunt Prop Frog. Saw your video on that as well as others and it's making me believe that'll be one of the best. I agree with Aiden below. Trim the tassels down.

A quick tip to anyone watching this. When you buy a frog take a pair of pliers and bend the two hooks up from the back just a bit. You will get more set hooks.

Bend them out or open the hook a little ??? Thanks
is 20lbs line ok for these kind of fish? or should i upgrade?
my favorite frog is the live target hollow body frog, i just catch more fish on that than anything else. trim the legs on the popping and normal frog you might get more hook ups
What time of day were you fishing?
Kinda late lmao, but what I did with my traditional frog was trimmed the legs and bent the hooks upwards a little bit, those help with hooking up
We did the same laugh at the same time. 😂
I would always lose my frogs whenever I set the hook. My knots keep coming untied. I use the classic 6 twists knot, but are there any stronger ones that would be better for frogs.

Bend those hooks out on the hollow body frogs for more hook ups. The Strike King Rage Tail Toad is my favorite soft plastic frog.
Its called a Swamp Monster and its brown and a popper as well!
The boohya midnight walking frog is my favorite frog
i dont know why, but frogs have to be my favorite type of lure next to crickets and grubs (all of which are soft plastic ones not real crickets or grubs lol)
I throw my frog high so it hits the water loud Boom. Bass take it right there time they hear it or one decent pop. Best lure ever it's crazy.
Lunkerhunt frog in this video is the one I have love that frog
Has anybody tried the Lunkerhunt Prop Frogs or the Prop Fish lures? I'm wondering how well they actually work.
My favorite frog is a spro frog jr because its the right size for them to choke it and it as a great walking action.

Try putting 2 or 3 BB’s in y’all’s frogs. The frog now rattles and cast a mile further, also makes the butt of the frog sit more in the water with the head more out of the water thus giving you a better hook up ratio

When I was young and broke I would bring a pruning saw when fishing in winter. It’s easy to find lures when the trees are bare. Saw off a limb if you can and you can retrieve the lure(s).
A popping frog
What You should do it's your bend, your hooks up and out a little bit
Quick tip when fishing a frog trim up them legs it will make u have better hook ups
I fish with fog and buzzbiat they not work for me help me out please
Not trying to tell you what to do but just my 2 cents. I love fishing a frog like most, to me it’s power fishing at its best. I trim the legs and not to walk it cause I think they walk regardless but they don’t always engulf it and will only get the legs and you miss. I also bend the hooks out and up slightly. It’s heavy combat so I don’t play the fish, just jack em and don’t stop reeling or they play you and can come off. No disrespect but I want all the odds in my favor and think 40 pound braid is too lite, I use 65 pound at least cause if a ten pounder hits it and it hurts itself in something you want to get her to the boat. Heck Dean Rojas is the best frog angler in the world in my opinion and he uses 80 pound. A friend of mine said he has snapped braid lower than 65 pound braid. You have two beefy hooks your trying to penetrate with so I think that’s why guys lose fish. I pretty much only use spro frogs ! I started with pad crashes and they work but I just really like spro frogs. Thanks for video from Fort Mill

I never trim the legs down on these frogs, not saying I wouldn't, I just let them take it a couple seconds and rarely miss em
Honestly when I can get a away with it, ill take a spook style bait over the frog. MUCH better hook up ratio
Right from the start, missing top water bites over and over, because.....you set too fast. With top water, when they strike, resist the urge to immediately set the hook. Pause for a second or two, then set. Try it and see how many more remain on the hook. Even so, good video.
Try giving the fish 1.5 to 2 seconds before you set the hook. Pretty much all weedless works best that way. At least in my experience. Sure if they hit it hard af it may work sooner
Try to bend the hooks out just a little bit to not lose as many also you may want to trim the legs for better walking
