I was reading in the forums when I found a topic on using frogs for bait. I found this particularly interesting being that there are many frogs here in south la. There was a qeustion asked on how to hook the frogs, but there was no answer. I am curious what is the most affective way to hook a frog and what kind of rigging is used. Any help would be appreciated.

thank you

Hook them through the upper lip.  They are not a real common bait to use for large cats. Can be used with a bobber or rigged for the bottom like any other bait.

Actually frogs seem to make up enough of the
 channel cats diet on the Red River that there
is much discussion when
to change from goldeye to frogs in late summer.

This is another example of specific baits and being
aware of when to use them. When certain baits
are abundant channel cats will key in on very
specific baits. On the Red River in Manitoba they
 start out using cut sucker. As water warms
and prey species spawn the channel cats key
in on goldeye. I suspect the goldeye get larger
 and harder to catch about the time they get
a deluge of little leopard frogs that can't seem
 to negotiate the heavy current well but make
 a glut of food for the big channel cats.

Experimentation and adaptability are good.
Once you find the bait the cats want you
should keep chunking it till their preference
changes.
