Snagproof Bobby's Signature Series. Good bait right out of the package. Walks well in open water and the only bait for me in slop and tulles. I throw them in White, Cicada, and Tweety most of the time. For me, color hasn't made a huge difference. Its all about being able to see the bait. Low light or dark days, I throw white. Bright days, lots of visibility, I throw Cicada because I can see it. Matt is right on too. You have to really just throw a frog and nothing but a frog if you want to learn it. same with jigs or swimbaits. Throwing with precision is crucial. Hitting that 6" of water between the bank and cover can be critical to getting bit. Like swimbaits, you can't slack off while you're throwing the frog, especially on mats; you need to be ready when the hit comes because it could be a blowup or just the fish barely sucking the bait down. And like Matt said, throw where nobody else will. Docks are great, as are lanes in tulle patches. Fish where everyone else throws the usual jig and worm setups. Try it in laydowns and standing timber. One of my most productive patterns is frogs in standing cottonwoods. Above all... throw it and keep throwin' it. Proficiency will come with time. :-)
