How many times out of 10 will a fish eat a follow up bait when frogging in grass?

I think alot of it is timing and what the follow up is the percentage is pretty high id say though I usually follow up with a weightless plastic or I keep the frog there if possible. its tough though if you yank the frog out where the strike was or you get exited and burn it in to recast or throw a follow up but try and just let the frog stay in place don't twitch it don't walk it just dead stick it count to 30 and give it a small twitch after 30seconds. iv found this to be more productive and successful then burning it in and trying to hit that spot again in the excitement. I will usually after that 30sec pause twitch it in place a few times giving it a few seconds then after that pause go back to my normal retrieve more often then not that first twitch is interrupted by a violent splash resulting in a caught fish. In really shallow water and aggressive bass you can see them make there loop and watch the water bulge get closer and closer to your frog and just before it gets there you give it that twitch and they cant stand it and they just crush it.

Never fish any type of topwater bait without having a followup bait ready to go.....

Hard to say. In my experiences, the best odds are if they completely miss the lure. If they get a hold of it and you take it away from them then most likely its over. Always have a fluke or worm at the ready for a quick followup.

2.6433 times. This is based on KVD, Dean Rojas and Ish Monroe frog studies.....Just kidding.....But they will try to sell you any lure that they claim will be the best follow up lure.

If you put a senko in front of an active fish it will eat it

Agreed, but if i had to say a number id throw a 5 out there which is still pretty good, since I'd say the chances of it hitting the frog again is about 1 or 2 out of 10

if they take the bait and you miss the hook set, move on. If they just take a whack at it or short it, throw the frog back but work it slowly. Let it sit for a few seconds in between "hops"

I fish frogs in heavy cover so a follow up senko is out of the question. If the fish just thinks it missed the frog it will go for it again.

I have to disagree with that. While jigs and flukes are my top 2 favorite presentations frogs are right up there with them it used to be all I threw I thought i was gonna be the next Dean Rojas but I throw a frog alot and iv had fish blow up on a frog iv had em bite it fight em for a bit and loose em just to throw the frog back to the same spot and hook them again. More often then not if the frog bites on they will keep smacking the frog over and over and over in my experiences. Heck one time I caught one on a boss rat tossed it back in and cast right after releasing and watched the same fish take off and smash the same lure I just took out of its mouth 30 seconds prior and that fish had be caught photographed released and bit again in under a 2 minute span.

Honestly you just gotta play em out each and every time iv had times described like above and iv had times where they bump it and ignore everything else including the frog just got to find what the fish want. But in my experiences they usually come back for more like there ticked off the thing got away from them and want revenge.
