I throw a frog a lot! My go to rig for the past several years is a Bass Pro Pro Qualifier 2 reel in a 7.2:1 ratio and a 7’ MH Berkley Lightning Rod Shock rod. I use 50 pound braid on it.
I keep threatening to upgrade this rig but it’s been bullet proof for the past several years, that I don’t see the need to!
The rod can be bought for approx. $40. The reel is $99 but is often on sale for $79 or less.
