Use this hook (5/0): http://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/strike-king-pork-o-s-lightn-in-strike-hooks-5-pack/pid-18899 Start with green pumpkin ...... lure can be fished top to bottom. Find out what the fish want that day. Tight lines.

Walks easily, does not really glide. I've caught a load of fish with them, including my personal best smallmouth. Excellent when fish are responding to a noisy topwater (I also fish spooks a lot).

Where you are getting bites on frogs, try a Zara Spook, Zara Puppy, Heddon Torpedo, or Smithwick Devil's Horse. Work them along the edges of the pads, or in large holes in the pads.

Zoom trick worm.

For Horny Toads, I use 5/0 Pork-O's Lightn'in Strike Hooks (come in a five-pack). The guy that first turned me on to these would use super glue to hold the bait to the shrink-wrap.... I used to do that and found that it really wasn't necessary. Once I began using these hooks with the toads, I never looked back. http://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/strike-king-pork-o-s-lightn-in-strike-hooks-5-pack/pid-18899

G-finish shad Zara Spook.

Zoom trick worms, horny toads, and every manner and sort of topwater.

I have had the same experience. Went back to wearing the Columbia all cotton shirts. The PFG was good for cool/cold weather, and that was about it. Finally gave away the one I had.

It's been a while since I've bought any of the Mustads (I usually stock up when I see them), but I usually get them at Academy, and for far less than $12.
