Default Ran across this and got me wondering

Someone said that using a loop knot on hollow body frogs is a great choice.
The reasoning was that on a traditional hollw body it makes walking the dog action much better and on a popping frog he said it was almost a must.
My thoughts...Popping frogs pops would make a better or more effective pop with a straight tie. Although...it may make the frog pop and then do a walk after the pop. Now the traditional frog walking better makes complete sense to me.
Yes I'm aware that newer hollows are all claiming effective walking abilities but I have dozens of older models and they would make walking even better. At least they do on traditional walking baits.
So, who uses the loop knot on hollow bodies?
I asked about loop knots in general awhile back but not frog specific.
So all thoughts are welcomed and from the other post not many use them at all.
Would or do you make changes tying a loop knot with braid. My fear is knot slipping and eliminating the loop, especially after a fish strike or pulling fish out of vegatation.
So share your thoughts with me.
