Here's a tip for a spook/walking bait that I learned years ago - tine your line to the eye of the bait like you normally would and then cut it off. Leave that knot on the eye. Then tie your line again and again cut it off to leave another piece of line with the knot. Now when you tie your bait on, make sure to tie your line UNDER both of those knots. It'll help keep the nose of that bait down in the water and help with a wider and easier to control walking motion. Works with every brand and size of walking topwater I've ever used.
@@comfortablynumb9342 I've never done a loop knot on a walking bait, I do a double pitzen. I don't know how well that would work with a traditional loop knot with the extra space.
I would think it would help the walk. Like shortening one side of a frog does kinda. The added drag I would think would help. Idk but I do know imma try it out. I already add them to my poppers.
It is hard but you have to be patient and not to set the hook as soon as you see the blow up. Count a second or two and then set the hook. It is common to get too excited when you see the fish blow up on the frog and which leads to setting the hook too soon which leads to the hook never getting a chance to get in the fish.
