OK, I LOVE fishing the slop! For me, there is nothing better than a bass jumping completely out of the water onto the mat to get a frog. However, I have a very low hook-up percentage. Maybe one in ten, one in five on a good day. It is fun to just get the hits, but it would be even better to actually catch the fish. I use SUMO and SnagProof frogs both of which have very good hooks. I have tried modifying the baits by shortening the legs. I have tried letting the fish take the frog before setting the hook, and have tried setting the hook at impact. Still, I never get a hook in most of the fish. Any suggestions?
