If you get it air tight make sure to put a couple of pin holes in the head so the hooks get exposed when the fish hits it.

That might be a purge hole so unless that is where the leak is occurring then don't plug it, also there needs to be some flex in body as stated above for it to purge on hit.

I use Mega Strike fish attractant instead of silicon to plug the hole.

You go Gene, now here's a guy who knows how to prep a frog. CB Hawg Sauce works good too.

In my experience, no. However, it may happen. I leave spros on the dashboard in my car for a couple of hours in the summer to soften them up....it helps. As for the leak in the kvd frog, I would try a dab of caulking material. However, the scent idea sounds great and I might try that tomorrow.
