When I still went after frogs I used a bamboo pole with a piece of fishing line and a hook with a piece of red rubber band on the hook. We would sneak around pond banks and Lilly pads til we found a frog, then dangle the hook and rubber band over the frog and they would think it was an insect meal and snap it up and get hooked, we then swung the line and frog back to us and unhooked them and put them in a fish bag till we got home to clean them.
