hmm. I’ve been watching them every couple days and never saw them come into inventory. Do they have an email watchlist that I’m not seeing?

I would not worry to much about a "dedicated frogging reel." 

 

I've been fishing this for 30+ years

 

 

Landed a bunch of these last week, 20lb Power Pro, 30+ year old Berkley Series One IM7 casting rod, medium heavy, 3/8-1-1/2 oz. Preferred the 5:1 ratio of the Citca vs. the 6:1 ratio of the Curado's. Felt like I had more leverage / power with the Citca. 

 

 

Note: this 40" | 13lb-8oz. pike was caught on the lightest casting rod I packed for this trip....an old Cabela's branded Fish Eagle II CX2 GC703, medium power, 1/4-3/4 oz seven foot rod. The pike hammer the spoon...then dove into two different weed-beds. It was quite a fight.

 

Tight lines!
