I threw some rage yesterday and caught about ten fish in a matter of minutes. I had forgotten how fun the frog bite was.

I've enjoyed the Ribbits for the MOST of my froggin since thats the first frog I threw (about 3 years ago). Ive been hooked since the first explosion. Ive got a lot more confidence in them than I do the hollow body style.

I REaLLY want to dig deeper into the hollow bodies this year as well.

I got FootAndAHalf a few of the Koppers, hoping he'll let me sling one of em!

I have several of the H20 Express Hollow Body frogs and my problem is that they seem to fill up with water real quick and it just kills the action and makes them sit lower in the water acting sluggish. Is this normal and I just don't know it or is there something that I can do to stop this? Any help would be appreciated.

I go between the ribbits and the H2O hollow body. It just depends at what and when I'm throwing it.

spro or h20 hollow bodies.

ribbit and bull ribbit... if i can get strikes on the bull thats what i stick with... if not ill go to the smaller one.

I like a little chop for the ribbit and throw the hollow on calmer days with some cover around.

I glue the hook hole completly shut with super glue then with a razor blade I make about an 1/8 of inch incision on top of the frogs head lengthwise almost between his eyes. The frog floats better, does not fill with water and collapses even better on impact. Ive not used the H2O's but it works great on Spros.

great ideas, how many fish will that super glue hold up to?

I have used the H2O hollow body frog the last 3 weeks, I think the 1/4"oz small one, and have caught some solid fish on it. As one poster stated about it filling up with water is annoying but otherwise i like them
