cfebraio Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 Hey Guys, Im currently setting up a frogging pole and i was wondering what type of braid should i buy, what color works the best for it and what lbs?? Thanks Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted May 7, 2012 Super User Posted May 7, 2012 Personal Preferance. I use 50lb green Power pro because I like that line and have no issues with it. Also it's the same line I use on my flipping stick so I can split the spool between two reels. 1 Quote
outdoorsman110 Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 Personally I use Suffix Performance Braid Neon Orange rated at 30-60lb and Yellow PowerPro rated at 30-60. I prefer hi visibility line so I can see what I'm doing. Quote
jerzeeD Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 I am a big fan of Suffix 832 myself. 30 lb. for me. Quote
bassinbrian Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 Anything that's 50lb+, I use 65 suffix performance and 70lb daiwa samurai. Quote
Global Moderator Mike L Posted May 7, 2012 Global Moderator Posted May 7, 2012 30# Power Pro Mike Quote
The Next KVD Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 50lb PowerPro. Anything less you may as well not fish a frog. Also, line color does not matter in this presentation mainly because most froggin is down around heavy cover and slop so the fish don't even see it. Same goes for the color of the frog for the most part as they are honeing in on the vibration of the bait throw the mats. When working them around areas with not as much cover than color may matter but I stick with only two White and Black. Quote
Super User LgMouthGambler Posted May 9, 2012 Super User Posted May 9, 2012 I use 65# Spiderwire Stealth, never had a problem with the OG of the braids. Quote
hike4steel Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 Prefer Suffex myself, either 832 orperformance braid. I will use 50#. It is a little thiner and has served me well in the slop I do my froggin in. I don't have too much woody structure. I have never broken the 50# and have caught my personal best, 7-13#, with 10# of muck in her face. A lot of people like Power pro. I tried it but like the castability for suffex better. Quote
cfebraio Posted May 16, 2012 Author Posted May 16, 2012 So the color of the line doesn't necessarily matter or does the neon orange or yellow lines hinder your fish catching? Quote
Diggy Posted May 16, 2012 Posted May 16, 2012 65lb suffix 832 or PP has been doing me well, the suffix fades horrendously tho, Quote
