You should check out the owner hooks although a lot of people like some weight in front to till it... But you have to have a faster retrieve that way. Topwater although some people use half of them as a swim jig trailer thumb

You can rig them w/ a single 'frog' hook (several brands make them, including Zoom and LF Tackle, I believe). Also, some brands make a twin hook that I like. The one I've used is by Gambler, but others make them too. The twins are like the hooks that come on the hollow-body frogs like SPRO. When I use a twin hook on a kicking frog like a Ribbit, I skin hook each of the hooks into the side of the frog to hold the frog straight during cast and retrieve. W/ the twin hook, I've had better luck w/ hooking and boating fish; the single hooks are trickier to hook the fish and result in more misses for me. W/ both twin and single you still have to wait until you feel the fish load up before setting the hook. Otherwise you risk snatching the bait away.

What size hook do you use with the twin hooks? I bought some twin hooks by tru tungsten but they arent big enough and very difficult to rig up...where did you get the gambler ones?

Doesn't Ribbit make a hook especially for the Ribbit Frogs? Or you could just buy the pre-rigged ones and use the hooks over again.
