playmaker47 Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 What's each of ya'lls go to frogging setup? Rod, reel, line, and type of frog. Really wanting to get into this technique this summer. 1 Quote
fishinthedacks Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 This will be my first year with a dedicated frog set up. I went with a curado g 6 (wanted the 7) - Abu Garcia rod MH, as far as frogs Ive got around 25 new ones from river 2 sea Larry dhalberg, to ***, strike king kvd sexy frog, snag proofs, booyah etc etc etc Really going to invest the time to see what works best for me this year.

mjseverson24 Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 I have 3 frog rods set up 1) 7'6" abu vendetta H/F: Lews Superduty 7:1, 65lb PP braid. 2) 7'6" BPS graphite series H/F: Quantum Kinetic PT 7:1 50 lb PP 3) 7'6" GSX Tournement MH/F: Quantum Kinetic PT 7:1 50 lb PP I only frog in heavy cover so the longer stiffer rods work well for my style of froggin frogs: KVD, Pad Crasher, Spro Mitch Quote
Grantman83 Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 1. Heavy pads will get my new DX 746 with a Zillion Type R and 65 PP. This rod will double for punching which i wanted sensitivity for otherwise I wouldn't spend that much on a frog rod. 2. Open water and buzzing frogs go on the DX 704 and a t3 with 40lb. Again, this rod doubles for trigs and jigs so the dx get sensitivity Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted March 24, 2014 Super User Posted March 24, 2014 My current set up is a 7' 3" H, St. Croix LTB, on 50 lb PP braid on a Abu 2nd Gen SX. Very soon it's going to be a Shimano Curado I..... 1 Quote

I can't choose just one hollow weedless topwater. There's way too many good ones out there. Bronzeye poppers Poppin pad crashers Bronzeye frogs Live target frogs Lunker-hunt lunker frogs Bettencourt weedless slop rodent Molix Supernato Weed Demon Optimum Furbit frog Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted March 24, 2014 Super User Posted March 24, 2014 Most of the time I frog with a 7'mh veritas, gen3 revo stx, and 30lb braid. If I am in the really thick stuff, I use a 7'6" H vendetta, gen1 revo stx, and 50lb braid. I also have thrown the smaller jr. size frogs often on a 7'M abu Vendetta with a curado 51e, and 20lb braid. For frogs, I like the booyah pad crashers, and the SK KVD sexy frogs for hollow body types, and zoom horny toads for the other kind. Quote
buzzfrog Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 7"2 HXF custom with 7:3.1 smoke and my new one is 7'3 MHXF *** with tatula type R 8 gear. Use all frogs but iobee and spro usually are tied on, can wait to try my R2S spitting wa 1 Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted March 24, 2014 Super User Posted March 24, 2014 I left out the second part to the question. When I bank fish I use Booyah pond crasher. When I fish the glades I fish LiveTarget frogs and when they prefer consistent movement I will throw Zoom horny toads. Quote
5dollarsplash Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 My current set up is a 7' 3" H, St. Croix LTB, on 50 lb PP braid on a Abu 2nd Gen SX. Very soon it's going to be a Shimano Curado I..... Same rod and line, and currently I use my Lexa 300. We'll see how the season pans out, you always need more reels right? I've got a box full of frogs, but Spro and Live Target get used the most. Bought a couple of the *** frogs, hopefully they work as good as advertised. Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted March 24, 2014 Super User Posted March 24, 2014 Same rod and line, and currently I use my Lexa 300. We'll see how the season pans out, you always need more reels right? LOL.... the reel has served me well, and it has caught me hundred's of nice bass over the last few seasons, but I saw and palmed the new Curado and I just had to have to it as my frog reel. Quote
LuckyHandsINC. Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 I use a Dobyns Champion 735c with a Pflueger Patriarch XT spooled with 50# PP slick. Favorite hollow belly frog is live target favorite buzz frog is rage tail. Quote

rawjuice Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 When I put a frog rod together, it was almost 4 or 5 years ago, I didnt have much money at the time so i bought: BPS Carbonlite 7' MH F/ Quantum Code 7:1.1/ Sufix 50lb braid Crazy thing is, I never changed it, in the thickest and not so thick, i have horsed 4+lb bass with enough salad to feed an italian family with no worrying. It casts frogs so good and is just a perfect setup, dont get me wrong, I would love to have a newer rod and newer and nicer reel, but i have yet to have a reason to replace this setup, it just plain works perfect. Im throwing koppers/kvds/spros most of the time, have a bunch of others but koppers and kvd is my fav, will be trying the new lunker frog this year so hope it works good! Quote
jtesch Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Revo gen2 Premier, This year it will be a Tatula 7'4" H(frog rod) , 60# samurai and either Spro or Live target frogs. Quote
bigfishbk86 Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 7'2" Heavy tatula with a 150 smoke high speed and 50lb suffix performance braid . How some of you guys get away with using a MH/4 powered rod is beyond me, unless there is no vegetation around at all, not even submergent. Quote
Super User gulfcaptain Posted March 25, 2014 Super User Posted March 25, 2014 I have 2 different set ups, have a 6-6 mh Vendetta with a Quantum Code and 20lb braid for the smaller frogs....IE live target field mouse and frogs. Then my other set up is a 7" mh Falcon with a Quantum Kenetic and 30lb braid. Also have a 7'3 Falcon if I need a bit more I can use that has an Accurist on it and 30lb braid that also is my lighter punching/pitching set up. And I really like the Ish's Phatt Frog and Poppin Phatty. Easy to walk and they don't sink. And going to be using the Sproz's bronze eye shad as well. I probably fish lighter braid then most, but I haven't had any issues getting fish out of the weeds on 30lb. I think anything else is overkill. Just my opinion. Quote
Super User new2BC4bass Posted March 25, 2014 Super User Posted March 25, 2014 7'2" Heavy tatula with a 150 smoke high speed and 50lb suffix performance braid . How some of you guys get away with using a MH/4 powered rod is beyond me, even unless there is no vegetation around at all, not even submergent. Farmer must blow your mind with his 7' M. I don't have a dedicated frog rod and only a few frogs. If the rod has to be a Heavy, then I have a Zillion Flip and Pitch (7'6" HF), a 7' HF Techna AV and two 6' 10" HF Quantums. I gather from my reading the Quantums would be too short for most frogging. I have several MH rods that I wouldn't be afraid to throw frogs on. The 7'6" Villain is a beast of a MH for one option.

EvanT123 Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 Powell Endurance 683 200e7 40lb braid. Booyah!! Quote

Grantman83 Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 I like of better than the tatula because of how I palm a reel. It's smaller and the hood actually makes a great flipping switch. As for pitching and casting, it is awesome. The 3d braking system really helps. Quote
Super User buzzed bait Posted March 25, 2014 Super User Posted March 25, 2014 super simple set up for me…. 7' St Croix Mojo Frog n slop rod, quantum code 7:1 and 50lb power pro it hasn't failed me yet…. Quote
