Any advice for a beginner new to throwing spro frogs from a kayak, I can not set the hook it, they blow up, I drop rod tip, and try to set it then I come up empty

a heavy action rod and thick braid helps a bunch in getting hookups. many people wait too long to set the hook. bass have no problem engulfing a frog off the surface, in open water, i set the hook immediately....in slop, i might wait a couple seconds....long enough to reel up any slack. i also bend the hooks back a bit on my spro frog....and if they are biting the 'legs' of the bait then i'll trim the legs shorter.

Standard rule of thumb when fishing frogs is hold the rod tip high at the 10-11 o'clock position during the retrieve. When a fish hits, count to 2 (thousand one, thousand two) and lower your rod tips at the same time then a firm vertical hookset.

One tip on tying your frogs with braid, especially if you use any braid that is coated, use a double palomar knot. A single palomar knot will fail and come loose over time.

I just found out about trimming the legs, I will do that, and i will bend my hooks slighty out on a few. Looking at them now that seems like a great idea!

Thank you Hanover_Yakker, I'm going to try both methods, modded frogs, with a immediate hook set , and the non mod frog, one thousand one , thousand two Ill report back!
