9 out of 10 knock mine out of the water, I think they take a class on slapping it with their tail to make it look like a strike.

I know why I miss on frogs. No matter how much I try to get ready for them to explode on the frog when it happens I still $hit all over my self and my deck.

Funny thing I just read an article in Bassmaster from Dean Rojas and he says he usually sets the hook on impact. He says he gets a better hook up because on a frog bite they usually inhale it on impact. He does say that sometimes he will wait but not often.

If you don't use braid for anything else, use it for frogs.
