Saw these at gander mtn and they looked good and figured since i throw stanley ribbit frogs why not...but on my first two outing with it got two fish to explode on frog set hook and thought i had two big ones bagged but both threw the frogs mid fight after the dissappointing losses i inspected the frog to see the frog barely moved on hook thus preventing a good hook set....just wondering if anyone else has used these and encountered this problem or maybe just bad luck any info would help

Conclusions certainly can't be drawn from two fish.

Many years ago I read an analysis on the effectiveness of hooks and the conclusion was that single hooks were the most effective, trebles next and double hooks the least. Take that for what it's worth and remember that was decades ago.

I had the same problem when I first started using the doubles. It was pointed out to me to run the hooks all the way through the legs, then back them out leaving just the points exposed. You will pick up a bit more trash this way, but my hookup percentage has skyrocketed!

You can make a double frog hook by taking 2 5/0 gamy 60Degree heavy jig hooks and putting both them on a split ring.Same Principal and they will work better.IMHO
