Braid for Frogs

[Uncle_MC]

I’m currently throwing frogs on 65lb Moss-Green Braid. Thing is I also will add a 20lb Fluoro Leader and throw heavy T-Rigs and Jigs on this same rod. As a line watcher, I struggle to see the green line when fishing the T-Rigs and jigs, so I thought of switching to White Braid to help with that. 

 

Any reason I shouldn’t throw the frogs on White Braid (no leader of course)? I think not but figured I’d ask you guys. I figured the frogs are looking up at a light sky so the line would blend in.

I don't think line color matters for frogging. It might, if the line is super visible, but in most scenarios I think the fish is reacting to the frog. I could be totally wrong though. I caught frog fish with neon green braid and I catch frog fish with moss green braid. White is probably not an issue.

Most of my braid is almost white after it's been on for a bit anyway.

I frog with Hi Viz Yellow.. frog still gets slammed... most hits r reaction for me.. I do use a black sharpie to last few feet of line.

I know anglers who punch with yellow braid for that reason, no reason why you can’t do the same with a frog.

I’ve seen folks at the ramp catch bass on 80lb mono with metal leaders and 2 oz weights on salami....you’ll be fine with straight braid

I've used solar green braid for frogging before and it didn't seem to bother them.

I use 30 pound test green colored braid for most of the frog fishing I do and sometimes use 50 pound test if needed.

I use Seagar smackdown in stealth grey, also use it for flippin and punching, no leader..no problem..

I know 65lb braid is a popular size, but I have never felt the need to go beyond 50lb and I tie direct to the frog.

I use 50lb Power Pro for frogging.  Does the job.  Last a few seasons but it looses it's color fast.  I usually don't use a leader.  That bass don't seem to care when it comes to frogs.

Frog rod is also my pitch/flip rod. 50# Power Pro, 12#YZH leader.
