Re: Soft topwater frog question
Hey Shane... I have done a ton of frog fishing and they all end up flipping. Usually, it is because the bait is not flat or rigged in a straight line. As the bait slips or the hook moves, the bait bends and will run upside down because that is where the resistance is.
You can add a little lead tape on the hook up near the front to help OR put a nice faceted bead on your line to help stop the nose of the bait from getting beat up so bad and moving the bait on the hook. I have also used a punch out from a butter lid on my hook on the underside of the frog to keep the bait in the right place and not slipping down on the hook.
Keep throwing them though as they will get you some GREAT fish!! (29+lbs in a tourney last year)!!!

PS Goes for the paddle tail frogs..not the horny toads. They dont flip much because they give little resistance in the water from the legs!!
