7'0" Carbonlite Okay For Frogging?

[GoneFishi'n]

I have a 7'0" CarbonLite Medium action. I know that a MH is better for frogging but is this alright? And I was thinking of putting 40 pound braid on is that enough?

I think you would be ok unless fishing some super heavy stuff, then the MH or H would be a better choice. Also you may want to up the line weight especially the thicker slop you are fishing.

I use a 7' MH with 50lb braid, but I dont fish frogs alot.

I have used that same rod with 40lb braid with no problems for that application, plus it allowed me to use it for other things as well. I did eventually change it for a m/h tho,the m/h felt way more solid, less noodley, but it will work. I landed a 36 inch snakehead on the medium and plenty of bass in weeds. Id probably use that rod for something better tho and if money allows buy an inexpensive mh to h rod for this or see if bass pro will allow you to exchange it.

Only reason I would be frogging is because I am going down to the Okefenokee Swamp in the fall, so I will be frogging the whole time since there are Lilly pads all over on the right side.

Itll work... if you dont want to spend a dime

Ok, thank you very much for helping me out. I can't wait till I go. I also found this like like 2 minutes away with lilly pads all over to haha, i'm going to go probably every day. Can't wait till that first frog catch. Will post pictures when I catch one.

The medium will work, a Mh will give you a liitle bit more backbone on those hard hooksets. I used to use a MH carbonlite for frogging caught a lot bass on it until I upgraded.

It will work but it will probably be far from ideal. I normally frog Hydrilla? mats and not pads but I use a 7'6''EH rod on 50# braid.

So frogs aren't good on lilly pads? I thought that's where they go?

Frogs are great on pads. I like to hop/twitch mine on top of the pads and then stop in the holes. Makes for a very awesome bite.

[Hi Salenity]

Frogs are for Lilly pads. I just don't have Lilly pads on the lake I like to fish. I have thick grass mats that cover the surface like the pads cover the lake you fish.

It may be easier for you to drag a fish through your pads than me to drag through the slop I have to drag a fish through.

Bass love frogs in Lilly pads

Ok!
