Anybody know what the best swimbait is to put on a YUMbrella Double-up Rig? Also, I am going frog hunting on Friday and need to know how to take care of them after I catch them. What do I feed them, and where/what should i store them in? And once I get on the water with them, is the best spot to hook them in the mouth? Please comment asap! 
I like using reaction innovations skinny dippers or zoom swimming fluke jr’s on 1/4 oz heads for the Yumbrella rig. I believe the “double up” rig is meant for using hard baits like poppers. As far as using live frogs as bait… why not spare the poor fellas and buy yourself a couple of Spro Bronzeye 65’s and go to work in the slop!
I would spare them but I hate Spro frogs because the hooksets are terrible! 
I didn’t mean it in a nasty way. I was just using the cartoon to diss the Spro Frogs. I spent $9.00 on one of those stupid frogs and I haven’t caught one yet. Sorry Cade, with all respect.

Makes me wonder how they can keep selling thousands a year if nobody catches fish with them.

A lot of people fall for the design of the frog, when the most important thing is how well the hooks are exposed once the bass stricks it.
2 things to look at when buying frogs. 1) density(softness) of the plastic 2) tuning the hooks. In my opinion, 99% of people buy frogs based on color and price, take it out of the package, tie it on, and hope for the best.
That’s too bad when frogs can be such a great part of a bass arsenal. Better quality plastics like the Live target frogs/mice are very soft plastic. They compress easier during a hook set which aids in exposing the hooks. Also, just like a crank bait, most are mass produced. The hooks are not always positioned properly and sometimes need a little adjustment. I often take a needle-nose pliers and tweak the hooks upward a little. Its a “feeling” that learned over time. but I like to be able to run my hand over the top and apply a little pressure. Trying to imagine pulling through weeds, I try to find a happy medium where it takes some effort to expose the hooks, but the hook angle is best for a hook-set. That has increased my hookset percentage over the years and only takes a few seconds to accomplish.

After the bass Strikes it,bow to her then set the hook.I have cought many bass on spro frogs and happen to like them.I’m no Bass Master so might be wrong.
Which Spro Frog have you had the best luck with?
witch color? black or white,I like Live Target frog,in the grass frog color and the smaller size. When shopping I take them out of the package and check to make sure they’re soft! all frogs are not equal,there are differences be fussy about them if you can be!!
