Great bait, but can be real aggravating because the hook won't sit down in
the groove on the back of the bait. It keeps popping up and when this
happens the bait tends to flip upside down. Seems like I have to adjust the
hook nearly every other cast. Anyone have any solutions, run into this prob
and solved it? Thanks

Since I'm not sure what hook you are using I'll tell you how I rig it with
the hook I use. I use the Daiichi Copperhead hooks. I slightly angle the
barb as I put it through the frog so the plastic holds it closer to the body
of the bait, and even though there is hook groove I still slightly tuck the
tip of the barb into the plastic.

Sometimes this method will make the frog arch its back slightly, but I don't
see that as a problem as it makes the feet ride a little higher and make a
better surface disturbance.

What kind of hooks are you using? are you using a hitchiker or just a hook?.
I find that by using the hitchiker the baits stay put. I also use mustad 5/0
EWG hooks, attach the hitchiker to the hook, screw on frog, skin tuck the
hook in the frog and rarely do I have any problems with them running
straight, also might be that nasty design on the buzz frogs
