IgotWood Posted February 19, 2019 Posted February 19, 2019 Stanley Top Toad. It’s a soft plastic, hollow body frog. Floats like a cork and holds up very well. It casts like a bomb too. It come pre-rigged on a double hook. The bait is super soft, which exposes the hooks very easily. My hookup ratio is very good, even with a med rod. They’re cheap and they work very well. 1 Quote
OnthePotomac Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 Geez, I fished frogs on a 7'MH rod with 20lb mono for years and it worked just fine. I have 50lb braid on now, but the mono was a lot easier to cast. 2 Quote

I pull bass from it all the time with other lures on this rod . What frog would excel in getting solid hook ups with this setup ?Perhaps one with slightly smaller hooks , softer body ..? try the booyah pad crasher jr. Smaller body with slightly lighter hooks. My wife was able to connect on more than a few occasions with 7 foot MH spinning rod with braid. I know you fish with mono, but the slightly lighter hooks should increase your hook ups. Let us know what your found that worked for you. Good luck. 1 Quote
Subaqua Adinterim Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 Put a Lake Fork frog trailer hook on a Booyah Jr. Pad crasher and you will be all set. Line problem is not a problem for you any more and your hook ups will increase substantially. I have no affiliation with the aforementioned product, matter of fact, when I ordered these from Cabelas a few years ago; they were back ordered, so I had to wait 2 months to get these. They do work well. Quote
