How to Hook a Plastic Frog
Are you fishing for bass? If so you’ll want to try using a plastic frog as bait. Here’s how to do it:
1. tie the frog to your fishing line using a knot that won’t slip such as a Palomar knot
2. cast your line into the water making sure that the frog is floating on top of the water
3. wait for a fish to bite then reel it in!
If you’re using a plastic frog for the first time it’s a good idea to practice casting and reeling in your line before you go out fishing. That way you’ll be more prepared when a fish actually bites.
Good luck!
