I used a 4/0 ewg hook in the past, and I let the fish load up the rod before I set the hook, and just could not get any to the boat. They seem to be more than a fad, so I'll give them another try this spring/summer.
I used white and black like buzzbaits, any other colors ya'll like?

Zoom Horny Toad, NetBait Frog, LFT Frog. Only use the Toad Toter hook from Mr.Blitz in Hemphill. No other hook even comes close. http://www.mrblitz.com
Rage Tail has got an awesome frog and I whacked alot of fish on them last Fall. Late Nov. 07, I found the top water Rage Tail Shad and it is unbelievable. Caught'em great and wished I had them earlier in the year as well. Not to worry, Spring is just around the corner.
i use a Stanley ribbit frog just about all the time for every situation. I hook it on a 4/0 owner wide gap hook and if i am using in thick junk i use 30lb braid and in open water i use 15lb flouro. I hook the from much the way you hook a worm for texas riggin. Putting th eye inside the frog and riggin it weedless. Hookin it like this makes it go through anything without hangin up. I fish with my rod tip in the 11'oclock position and when i get a strike i drop the rod tip and count 3. then try to jerk the bottom out of the lake. Reason for this is, If you have ever seen a Bass grab a frog, most of the time they grab their legs to stop them and then a second swallow takes in the frog. Thats my 2 cents on it. Also far as time. I always have one tied on year round. I caught five fish over 3 pounds yesterday in 38 Degree weather on a frog.
Have to put my two cents in on a frog since I throw one from early march till early december on every lake I go to but since I live by Rayburn I throw one every single day. I love how everyone keeps throwing the horny toad and ribbit frog, keep throwing them it makes it easier for me to catch fish behind you when I throw my frog since its a totally different style. And yes Dillon i'll be throwing one in two weeks so get ready.
