Farrington Pike Question

[RyanMac14]

So I did end up going to farrington from about 4 to 8 tonight. Decided against targetting pike and just threw the good ol frog in the pads. Had about 7 explosions, including one massive one that almost made me crap myself, but I must be either terrible or unlucky with hooksets because I didnt land any. I know to wait a couple seconds and even had to wait once for him to come back for it, but I have yet to hook one with a soft frog. While the explosion still satisfies the rush I need, it is still discouraging. But what can ya do. Hopefully better luck next time.
