I Made 5 Mistakes Bass Fishing with Frogs

Excellent advice on frog lure advice ESPECIALLY on only buying as soft of frogs as you can find I did that and combined with one other change it made a HUGE difference and improvement in my hookup success
Also worth adding to your advice is know the quality of your bass fisheries
I fish 3 different lakes for at least 90% of my largemouth bass fishing
I am absolutely blessed that these three lakes all have VERY good numbers of bass between 2+ pounds and less than 5 lbs as in 90%+ of the bass I catch will be under 5lbs
So it is an accurate statement to say these lakes I fish have very few bass in them over 5lbs accessible by shore fisherman like me and my sons
These three lakes are all more shallow than deep
All three of these lakes have heavy weeds and lilly pads as thier predominant structure that occupies over 80% of the lakes main bass holding habitat
Absolutely perfect frog fishing habitat
I been trying to master frog fishing for the last 4 years. After two years I was absolutely great at picking out spots in the lilly pads, reeds and weeds that held bass and learning the best conditions on my lakes to fish a frog
90% of the time I frog fish I get multiple bass blowing up on my frogs
But my hookup ratio still was very poor at 50-55%
In late June of last year I watched a frog fishing how to YT video and the guy suggested if your having trouble hooking up using a frog try using a smaller frog
I thought DUH!
I did exactly that I went to a frog that was about 5/8" to over an inch shorter than all the frogs I was using
Also before I ever tried this new mini frog I compared it side by side to all my other frogs what shocked me most was the plastic this frog was made from was tissue paper thin and many times softer VS all my other frogs and this frog compressed many times easier than any of my other frogs
Lucky my first time using this frog was textbook perfect frog fishing conditions
In 4.5 hours of prime frog fishing conditions on my favorite frog fishing lake in my best frog fishing spot I got 14 bass to blowup on my frog hooked 12 got 10 in and released the ONLY thing I did different was change to a smaller significantly softer frog lure
I fully understand if you're fishing a lake were bass up to 6lbs are common then by all means use a standard sized frog of 2.5-3" long
But if like me 90% of the bass you fish for are under 5lbs using a smaller frog is absolutely worth trying
Since going to a smaller MUCH softer frog my hookup success rose from 55% to 75% I can't honestly say it rose to 80% but 75% yes I can say that
Now the over 90% of the blowups I fail to hookup on are due to my STILL setting the hook to fast
What amazed me most about frog fishing is the degree of concentration and self control it demands if you wish to be consistently successful at fishing frogs.
Great content if guys watching this fallow your advice they will ve more successful frog fisherman
