I have actually talked to a couple of bass pros and they told me if your strike to catch ratio is 1 in 4 you are doing well...in addition there are a couple of things you can do to improve catch ratios. On hollow body frogs cut about 1 inch or so off of the legs, bass tend to grab the legs sometimes and not the entire bait. Also you can bend the hooks up and out just a wee bit for better hook-ups.
