NorthFloBassin Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 7'3 hvy Powell inferno w/ a 7:4.1 lews speed spool and 65lb spider wire braid. Then you'll be cooking. Lews reels are much better made than abu's. Really just get a rod that feels right. I woundnt spend more than 150$ on my first rod and no more than 150$ for the reel as well. But don't buy an Abu, for a lews and make sire it's a high gear ratio. Best of luck Quote

Super User tcbass Posted June 13, 2014 Super User Posted June 13, 2014 Cabelas sells a Cabelas Tournament ZX rod and Daiwa Tatula reel combo for $199.99 I'm sure it has been and will go on sale again. I have G. Loomis, St. Croix Rage and Mojo Bass and my Cabelas Tournament ZX are my favorite rods. Quote
Tyler B Posted June 13, 2014 Author Posted June 13, 2014 I looked it up and I was looking more for the tatula type r (the one in 8.1:1) the normal one doesn't have that gear ratio Quote
Tyler B Posted June 29, 2014 Author Posted June 29, 2014 Does anybody know why the guides on the LT frog rod are backwards (like a spinning rod)? What do you think about it? Does it make it better or worse? What was the point of that? Quote
Kevin22 Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 Walleye on a frog rod? Yea right... I'll stick to my 66ml and 66m spinning rods. Quote

JTP Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 I posted about that reel after learning more about it. Do you think it would be better than the Sx for frogging? i have a Gen 3 SX the gear box is huge i would go with lews or daiwa. Quote
