I also walk the dog a lot and move the frog quickly from open water to moss spots, so the bass follows it and then let frog sit on moss or lolly pad then pull it ...more of and that's when I get the most hits
Sure, I use a heavy action rod with 25 pound braid, although a lot of guys use 50, and I mainly use them in late summer when the bass are under miss and Lilly pads, ...more best frog is Booyah pad Crasher
