thats also why you should have a specific rod with a soft tip with a fast shut off, and lots of backbone...

I think way more people throw ribbits than hollow frogs. I have never caught a fish on a ribbit but a spro is my go to bait right now. Throw it on braid for sure tho

Are you leaving the hook exposed or tucking it back in? I think everyone misses fish on frogs but yeah you gotta throw em with braid
