Anyone trim the legs or bend the hooks outward for better hook ups?

I have but it didn't seem to help me much. I always try to set the hook to fast on blow ups. I am sure when I learn to wait for the rod to load up i will have better luck.

Anyone trim the legs or bend the hooks outward for better hook ups? No because I throw mine in a lot of heavier vertical cover. All bending the hooks does for me is make it snag more.

I don't bend the hooks either. I do trim the legs one shorter than the other. That's just for walking purposes.

Very Rarely do I trim legs but I do bend out hooks just slightly I fish allot of heavy cover with them and it seems to help hook them especially when they inhale the frogs

Anyone trim the legs or bend the hooks outward for better hook ups? I don't even bend out the hooks...no need to if you set the hook properly. There are only 2 reasons to trim the legs IMO....if you "walk" the frog....or if you are getting short strikes. If you are wanting to walk the frog, just shorten 1 leg about half.....if you are getting a ton of short strikes I would shorten them up to about 1-2" total....I personally have a frog for each method and will switch them up if I have to....just me though....

Anyone use the all white frogs much? For daytime fishing when it's sunny, yes.

I believe that during the daylight hours with the sun overhead that all frogs regardless of color look basically like a dark shadow to the bass that is underneath it. Like everyone I have my favorite colors for lures but have always wondered why some top water lures come in so many colors when they all are simply white on the side the fish see, the bottom.

PayCheck baits Transporter
But they are being discontinued. I spent this evening buying a bunch of them wherever I could find them online.
