The key to more hookups is to pause for a few seconds before you set the hook.It takes patience but your hookups will increase dramatically.

braid and a heavy rod are key for penetrating the roof of the mouth as the hooks on the frog are turned upward. do you use a spinning reel or a bait caster? I've found with a bait caster there's less slack to take up after the frog hits the water and unlike a spinning/braid setup the line doesn't drape on everything around you after the cast.
