Anyone have suggestions on a brand of hollow body frogs that skip well? Or any mods to improve skipping?

I can skip a Spro Bronzeye a long ways with braid and casting gear. 

how do you avoid backlashes when skipping?

spro bronzeye frog the best.

Lots of practice

I can skip the Spro Bronzeyes and SK KVD Sexy Frogs pretty well. Booyah Pad Crashers have a much less firm skin that doesn't lend itself to skipping as well.

It just takes hours of practice to learn skipping and minimize backlashes. I'm just getting into it and it's NOT easy. KEEP AT IT!

Ive had the best luck with a Koppers.

They're not as soft as a Scum frog which helps, but softer than a Spro which helps hook up's.

A low, side arm cast, in a slow fluid motion will get you there.

And yes a lot of practice!

What helped me the most was getting as close to the water as I could.

On a boat try kneeling on the deck.

From shore try to stand in a depression if there is one, if not take a step in the water if you could or kneedown on the shore.

The best skipper I know is a friend who fishes out of a canoe.

Funny, I can skip the Booyah, and SK frogs fine, the Spros for some reason give me fits. It's one of the reasons (besides price) that I stopped using them.

The price certainly keeps me from owning more of them as well as the SKs. At $8-$10 each they are 1.5-2 times more expensive than the Booyahs. And since I don't have to skip much and have a better hookup percentage with the Booyahs, they are what I typically find on the end of my line.
