It's hard to do but you have to wait...wait...wait...reel up any slack then set.....hard! Best is if you feel the fish on the line before you set the hook. I also use braid to eliminate stretch and slice through any weeds that are in the way.

If you set the hook and the fish is not there or the frog pulls lose immediately (not a fight then come unbuttoned type thing) then throw a senko type bait right back to the spot and let it sink....they will hit it more often then you can imagine. A lot of times they just smack the "thing on the surface" then wait for it to sink to them. Sometimes I don't even reel the frog all the way back in before I throw the senko back in there.
