[QUOTE="jdd5p, post: 101421, member: 765"] Topwater frogs are probably my favorite bait to fish. In my opinion you are definently best off with braid fishing a frog. You are going to need it to horse that big one out of the vegetation (I'm assuming you aren't using these in open water). What works best for me is to resist the urge to set the hook as soon as you get a strike. Wait a second or 2 until he pulls the bait down and you actually can feel the fish on your rod. After you feel him put the rod tip down and give it a big boat rocking hookset (another advantage of braid). You're still gonna miss some strikes, that's the nature of frogs, but once I started waiting to set the hook it improved my odds significantly. Hope you have better luck next time, nothing beats a big topwater explosion on a frog. [/QUOTE]
