NH Tracker175 Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 i love using my baitcaster but i am still new to it(started last year)i am much more accurate with my spinner and have a okuma speed reel with 50lb power pro braided line.looking for input on which spinning rod to get for fishing the frogs.thanks Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted May 12, 2012 Super User Posted May 12, 2012 Don't know what you want to spend, but St Croix's MH powered spinning rods are pretty stout, and would fish frogs in all but the thickest slop if you want to stay with spinning gear. Quote
jerzeeD Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 2nd that. 6'6" St croix premier MH/F is my spinning frog ros. Quote
Super User Dan: Posted May 12, 2012 Super User Posted May 12, 2012 My recommendation is something long. Something at least 7' preferably 7'6". A longer rod will better allow you to take up line on a hookset and get better penetration, especially on long casts. Oh and at Medium heavy or heavy power. Quote
NH Tracker175 Posted May 13, 2012 Author Posted May 13, 2012 thank you to all for the input.i am looking at a 7ft 2in mh st croix Quote
NH Tracker175 Posted May 14, 2012 Author Posted May 14, 2012 well i decided to suck it up and learn the right way with a baitcaster.thank you for all the input fellas Quote
Super User SoFlaBassAddict Posted May 14, 2012 Super User Posted May 14, 2012 Smart choice. You'll probably be much happier in the long run. Quote
wisconsin heat Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 Smart choice. You'll probably be much happier in the long run. agreed! Quote
Wild Bill [NY] Posted May 16, 2012 Posted May 16, 2012 For serious frogging , a high-speed batcaster reel [7.0/1] rigged with 65 pound braid is the way to go. I use either 7'4" Frog Rods, or 7'6" Frog rods. You seriously want a HEAVY action for the really heavy slop. I am new to it, too ... [been frogging since 1969, and a Snag Proof color is named after me]. The Wild Bull frog color pattern Har, har, har !! Quote
