Me to, already delayed me 45 min. this morning. Should have been to the dump and back already. But no, bass fishing on line. I hope this continues winter is not far off.

Thank you and I think I will. Heading up tomorrow for a few days. Will report when I get back. Should be interesting with the muddy water, cold front, and FLW tournament (if they run down south). Will have my work cut out for sure.

9 bucks for a frog? Oh heck no. I find the hollow ones all work pretty much the same, accounting for nose design differences.
I keep a horny toad always on one rod and a hollow body on the other (right now theyre Spro bronzeyes in brown and green - since I got a deal on some a while back). Intead of a rattle, I put a couple beads mixed with splitshot in there since they reorient quicker after the cast.
The key is of course to use braid, and mind your knot. Youre never using them on purely open water, so buoyancy isnt an issue. And the hooksets are legendary. But watch that your knot doesnt slip around. Like with any topwater, the angle of the nose produces the action. I dab glue on all my topwater knots, and frogs are no exception.
If you ever hear a commotion right under the fort at 5am on a summer morning, it's me gettin big Pike on frogs over the pads. The anchored sailboats hate me for it, but nothing beats the hole a pike can blow in the weeds when it hits a frog! It's hard on tackle, but dang its a rush!
