I never used soft plastic frogs before.
But with hollow bodied frogs I've notice.
A small bass with hit through the slop. And you miss it.
But when a hang smashes the bait it engulfs it resulting better odds of hooking a big fish.
I've had great success with live target field mouse and frogs

I personally dont like the zoom horney toads. I use stanley ribbit frogs on an EWG 3x gami with a belly weight. IMO better action than the zoom frog.

Koppers make the best hollow body too

you gotta throw the live target hollow belly frogs! they are softer than others and they are more realistic than any other but you have to let them take it longer so hold off on setting the hook as soon as you see the explosion weigh till you feel the weigh of the fish!! and i've noticed that the smaller fish make more of a splash but the bigger ones just slurp it down!! your hook up ratio will go up when you figure out how long you need to wait to set the hook
two words.. rage toad!!! they are in my opinion the best soft plastic frog out there, they are a buzz frog because of the crazy kicking action the rage tails create, they come in great realistic patterns and have the strike king coffe scent which supposedly fish love but i like it cause it masks the smell of my tobacco fingers lol. as for hollow bodies im not a huge fan of the live target frogs , im more of a sexy frog man myself but they are basically the same thing and 4 bucks cheaper 
If your thinking of using rubber fogs this year check out mayobaits.com . This guy makes some sick buzz frogs, he has new ones for this year too. You could try taking the skirt off a buzzbait and putting that on. Crazy action. Also if you want a hollow frog there is only one, Jackal lobee frog. I have used almost every hollow body frog on the market, its my favorite technique and these are top. Kind of expensive but as with all things in life-you get what you pay for.
btw what kind of hooks do you use for the rage toads?
5/0 gamakatsu superline ewg worm. i tried the trokar hooks with them but i dont like using trokars on any bait that i like to skin hook cause the stupid 3 sided cutting point just slices its way back out after the first cast like a hot knife threw butter lol this is why i will never use any trokar swimbait hooks cause i like to skin hook my swims but i also dont like to have to change my bait after every friggin cast cause the whole back is sliced open lol
