Hooking Bass with Lake Fork Trophy Lures Frog Tail Hooks

Are there any bass out there? Does any bass care? Does any angler wonder? Does any angler care? Will this hook break the spell? Oh, this empty hook is alone again; when will lady luck strike again? I guess I'm just fooling myself again. My hollow body frog has come back empty again.
The storm of innovative, lifelike hollow body frogs waved over me like hurricane Katrina wiping me senseless and fooled. Sure the bass love hollow body frogs, but the hookup ratio with the double hooks used with the lure is not perfect. I don’t know. It could just be that I jerk way to quick or that the strike is so vicious that it knocks the hollow body frog out of the water. Whatever it is I won’t be fooled again. Never set the hook to quick or have the hollow body frog come slowly floating towards the surface looking at me with its sinister grin. No, I have solved this problem with Lake Fork Trophy Lures Frog “Tail Hook”.
Hollow belly frogs are lifelike amphibian shape lures that can be used in the thickest cover, on top of matted aquatic vegetation, twitched around pads or frog-walked in open water. Most of them come with an internal weight system and super sharp, durable double hook. While the double hook does catch most of the bass there are always a number of bass that never get hooked when a bass strikes them. To remedy this problem and stop being fooled again my hollow belly frogs will be rigged with the new Frog Tail Hook (www.lftlures.com) by Lake Fork Trophy Lures. The Frog Tail Hook made with a Patient Pending Gamakatsu hook was designed especially for hollow belly frogs. It’s simple to rig. Just squeeze the two round ends together until it can be slipped over the hooks on the hollow belly frog. The tension caused by doing this will keep the single shank hook in place when you fish with it on. It only comes in one size that fits most of the popular hollow belly frogs being sold.
The Frog Tail Hook doesn’t impede the action of any popular hollow belly frog, but it can increase your hookup ratio. Of course sometimes the hook does catch in aquatic vegetation, but that’s a small price to pay for catching more fish. Are there any bass hiding in thick aquatic vegetation where you fish? Do you often get fooled when a bass strikes and you set the hook, but nothings there? The Frog Tail Hook was designed to hook these bass so no more being fooled again.
