Line for Jig & Pig / Frog Rod?

[bugman]

I have a 7'3" M/H Avid that I use for Jigs & Swim Frogs. I like braids for Frogs and 15# copoly for jigs. What line would you suggest I should spool that I can use for both?

[Chris at Tech]

Are you fishing the frogs in really heavy slop?

Your normal frog braid with a copoly leader should do the trick.

EDIT: Let me clarify

Braid by itself for the frogs.  Then, just add a leader for jig fishing if the water is clear.

for the jig. Straight braid should not be a problem unless your in ultra clear water.

For hollow body frogs,  I also often use straight braid.  The braid cuts through the weeds really well and I fish my frogs in very thick cover or slop so line visibility is not an issue.

Here's my setup that has proved to be very succesful this year. I started out this spring having never caught on a jig. Did some research, spent a day on the water with LBH getting schooled, and have had one tied on since. I use a 7' BPS extreme MH with 20lb Power Pro. Gives nice distance for casting, which we need in alot of the lakes here, because of clarity. So far, I haven't noticed a downside of the "visibility" of the braid. The fish have been smacking the jig like a truck. Just me

When using braid on a BC do you need to put a backing of mono or any line? Or can you spool the braid straight on there?

[Infidel.]

If you you have a whiffle spool you can thread it through the holes and tie it to that, if not than I leave about two layers of mono and tie the braid to that.

Oh and I use two different sticks for Jigging and froging. Jig stick has 15lb Cuda and the frog stick has 50lb Power Pro.  If I had to use one it would be the braid because the braid will work fine with the jig but the mono and the frog aren't the best of combinations.
