Try different Color frogs. whenever the bass aren't biting a natural color frog I switch it up and use a White. That seems to get the trick done for me.

To the guys getting blowups but not hooking up - Are there pike or pickeral in your ponds/lakes?  I fish frogs a lot and have a ton of success doing it.  Nearly every time an actual bass hits, I get him.  Pike and pickeral are a different story though. They will blow up hardcore on my frogs but RARELY hook up.  Their splashes are almost always much bigger/louder than any bass but I think their intention is to actually "stun" the bait not eat it.  This could be a big part of the problem.

Do you typically have success on other topwater baits in the bodies of water you're fishing? I fish a couple lakes that just have zero topwater bite to speak of. For whatever reason, the fish will not break the surface for a lure. It's possible you're experiencing the same. 

I can relate.   The topwater action around here is so unreliable, that I don't even do it unless I have to.
