I threw a black Spro for about 4 hours today. Found some floating vegetation and just followed that pattern. First mat I hit I boated a nice slot fish. I moved on down to the next mat and had 5 more blow ups with 5 misses. I just chalk it up to frog fishing. I seem to have lots more misses than hook ups. Each time i felt like i gave the fish plenty of time before setting the hook and yet I still managed to lose them before getting them in the boat. Threw a black Spro frog on what body of water?

i have never thrown a frog... how is the bite?  Kinda just gets mushy. Hard to feel. Sensitivity is a must! The bights can be softer than jig strikes......

I would consider myself a Dean Rojas type I have two rods rigged up with frogs and 2 rigged up with a worm type flipping bait, frog is without a doubt my favorite way to catch a bass can't beat it

Iv never fished with a frog. I have access to a large flood coltrol lake thats full of vegetation. I usually tear them up on buzzbaits and spooks but never fished a frog and would like to try it out. I see yall talking about different types of frogs. What would be the best on for my situation?

You were probably throwing over bedding fish and they were just clearing it away, thats when you should have picked up a punching bait and jacked that big momma

Bought a few of the new Koppers Live Target hollow frogs I can't wait to try. They just have that "look" like they will work very well. You will love the Koppers Live Target frogs! I bought some simply because they looked like the most realistic frog I have ever seen and man did they work! I took them with me last weekend at a local lake in Alabama and caught over 20 bass, all on the same frog. The biggest was 6lb 8oz. I made some videos if any of you are interested in seeing the frog in live action. Go buy one, you won't regret it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-lGH57xoys http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvpTcYsiGIE

Go to Caddo, best frog lake in Texas. Plenty of grass mats and lily pads everywhere. When it gets hot, the bigguns will bury up in the thick stuff and will crush that frog, sounds like someone flushed a toilet when they strike. Count to two and hammer it home twice, reel until you can't anymore, set the trolling motor on high to cut through the mat to go get her, grab the line, pull off the grass and see what you got.
