It ticks me off missing some big ones but I still do it because it works so well. “What’s good for me may not be good for the weak minded.” Captain Gus McCrae- Texas Rangers

The patch of lilly pads is so thick you can't fish with anything except a hollow body frog. Everything else gets tangled in the weeds. Had lots of strikes but no hook-ups. The advantage of hollow body frogs is that the hooks are protected by the frog's body and they will skip on top of the lilly pads without ever getting tangled. The disadvantage is that the hooks are protected by the frog's body and they rarely hook a fish. If anybody has a solution, I'd like to know it. I've caught a few big bass on these lures but I miss most of them. I have the same problem. You're supposed to delay setting the hook, but danged if I can do it!
