Do you ever notice how it often takes a little while to "break in" a new hollow body frog? It seems like after catching a few bass the frog softens up a bit increasing your hook up ratio. To speed up the break in process for a new frog, take the frog out of the package and store it in a warm vehicle (out of direct sunlight) for a few days. The plastic will soften just like after you caught a few bass!

Great Tip! I've been told you can dunk them in water that is just short of boiling too. I've never tried it. 9 bucks is a lot for me to toss away. I'll be trying the warm vehicle though :-*

Flat's do you find that this tip applies to a specific brand of frog or hollow body frogs in general?
