How do you guys repair hook holes in your baits that make the frog sink? I am trying some stuff called Shoe-Goo. It's for repairing worn out soles on athletic shoes--it's flexible yet very tough (harder than silicone when cured). Sticks to most anything, including the plastic frogs are made of. I'll post how well it holds up.

I just super glue them, works fine for me, but I agree,I end up just buying new ones after awhile.

The goo worked killer. Stuck well to the frog and now keeps the hook points from poking thru. After awhile I know I'll have to buy more frogs, no prob. This one frog is so balanced and seems to get bit more than my others I wanted to extend its life. I have another that's new and sits tilted in the water and hasn't drawn strikes. It's getting parted out for the hook and rattle.

Fongster next time you come by my work we'll talk some frog mods you can try out. Some of them make a HUGE difference in hook up ratio.
