But they are being discontinued. I spent this evening buying a bunch of them wherever I could find them online.
Hi's Tackle Box had a bunch of them in stock last week.

I guess I'm in the minority that doesn't like Spro frogs at all. I'd much rather throw a ScumFrog. They have never failed me when the frog bite is on.

I like the snag proof Ish's poppin' phattie, snag proof bobby's perfect frog and the spro poppin' frog. These all walk great, have good color choices and hold up to lots and lots of abuse from catching fish and horsing them out of the cover.

Having fished most everything on the market, having many days where my top three ran 18 lbs or so, I've got frog fishing semi-down. Spro popper and Live Target are my go to lures. Live Target as they are so soft (great for hookup ratio) yet don't get torn up after getting three fish. Once I got 9 in an afternoon on one, and did not miss a fish- a record on frog fishing as anyone that throws them for a day or two knows, let alone for 30 hours a week, month after month like me, knows. This pictured bait, looks like it floats, does it? Who makes it? Who sells them?

I love fishing frogs, but have trouble with hookups. I've bent the hooks out, waited to set the hook, and everything in between, but still only set the hook on at most a third of the bites.
any and all advice is welcome.

If you want one that will walk right out of the box the Ish Phat Free frog will do this. I use the Ish frog too!

Spro bronze eye and popping frog are my go to. Stay away from the lunkerhunt. Something even me and Bad-D can agree on. The lunkerhunt is hands down my most regrettable purchase ever tackle wise... what a disappointing hunk of junk.

If you are paying $20 for a frog you shouldnt be fishing I believe it comes with a free bass attached.

Paying premium for ultra high end topwaters isn't much a problem... how often do you lose a topwater bait? Paying out the wazoo for high end cranks and jerkbaits and such can be painful though... and some of the A-rig's and such are just INSANE.... guys out there chucking close to $100 worth of wire and jig heads and blades and swivels and swimbaits.... heck, just plain swibait fishermen out there casting $100+ baits
Heck, between the hooks, tungsten weights, line, and plastics, I reckon without even thinking of it a lot of my plastic rigs are worth more than a lot of my hard baits that I look at and go "man, how can I justify what I spend on this to someone else?" but who cares. It's your money and your tackle and your time on the water. Spend it all exactly how YOU please! If I'm willing to pitch $10 or so worth of tungsten weight and flipping hook and a bait into nasty thick stuff, why not spend $20 on a frog that'll last a long time? I can see it either which way. I tend to be as frugal as possible myself, but I do get wide eyed in the tackle department...
