Can You Change Hooks on Hollow Belly Frogs?

Can you change out the hooks in your favorite hollow belly frog?

Absolutely and here are a few reasons why you might want to change the hooks on your favorite frog:

  • To improve hookup ratio. Hollow belly frogs are often used in heavy cover, where bass can easily short strike the bait. By changing to a sharper or more gapped hook, you can increase your chances of setting the hook and landing the fish. 
  • To change the size or style of the hook. The stock hooks on hollow belly frogs are often sized for medium-sized bass. If you're targeting larger bass, you may want to upsize the hook to a heavier gauge or a larger size. You may also want to change to a different quality of hook.
  • To replace a damaged hook. If the stock hook on your hollow belly frog is dull, bent or rusty, it's important to replace it before using the bait again. A damaged hook can reduce your hookup ratio and make it more difficult to land fish.
