lately ive started fishing ribbit toad/frogs alot and have noticed the frog will slip all around on the shank of the hook after a little bit of use,if i put a spot of super glue below the body of the frog owards the front will it keep the frog from slipping

Super glue is great for this among many other things for fishing ,Knots,holding bullets weights,  ... when u put it the head of the plastic Ur using it makes it shrink and really hard to get off the hook .I have found any brand works for this and its cheap ,You can also put it where ur hooks come out and where it goes in makes it last longer............But shhhhhhhhhhhhhh  this is suppose to be a secret  ;)     BUt when it hits water it tends to make the spots with glue turn white

i used to do this as well and it works great.  if you really want to extend the life of your frogs though get some of the hooks that have a keeper on it.  zoom makes one but i prefer the owner variety, and ive tried the mustad version which i liked better than the zooms as well.

before i used these hooks my frogs would not last that long and i would have to glue and reglue a lot but now they generally last until they get their legs pulled off which is a long time

I use the hooks like these, they triple the life of the frog from a regular hook.

Last year I started useing the Manns Hard nose frog, these things are awesome they never slide down  the shank of your hook.    ;)
