7'6 heavy action rod, 50-65 lb. braid, a stout reel with plenty of crankin power, I use a 5500. You wait till the grass mats up and fish across the top of it. I like to use snag proof, or weedless or whatever they're called ( hollow bodies, pop a hole in it and throw in a few glass beads). sometimes the fish want it fast and sometimes slow,just have to figure it out each day..

I don't fish fros much, but I throw them on my flippin' stick when I do. 30-40lb braid, I never use more than 40lb. I like the Zoom Horny toads, and the Strike King Ragetail Toad. Rigged on a 5/0 Owner Twist-lock hook, or 4/0-5/0 Gammy EWG. As for floating frogs and such, Spro Bronzeye frog all the way.
As for when to fish, and how, Bo's got it. BB

I prefer the floating soft belly Scum Frogs. Don't add a rattle to these, as they seem to offset the balance of the frog. I have one that floats on its side now due to a rattle. Use a couple glass beads like bo mentioned above. Glass or plastic beads provide the noise without the extra weight.
Make sure you wait about 3 to 4 seconds before setting that hook. I have yanked too many frogs out of a fish's mouth. Let me rephrase - I have yanked every frog out of the fish's mouth. Last edited by Fishnngolfn; 06-23-08 at 10:02 PM. |

Tru-Tungsten's Force Beads. I think they have amuch better sounds than glass beads.

i really need a frog rod because i fish frogs quite a bit but don't like casting my flippin stick. so i usually end up using a medium heavy 7' falcon and that really is too light of a rod for the frog......as a matter of fact it cost me a fish tonight. i still land most of my fish with this set up although it isn't near enough rod for the job.

I use a 7ft med hvy shimano crucial with 30lb suffix braid on a revo stx baitcaster. I love this setup although I have had a problem with my line snapping on hooksets with frogs. I'm puzzled because it's braided line.

my disission was made after several long talks with a left coast frog guy.-deacon-if your going to do it right might as well get some advice from guys that have been doing it 10-12 years.before you drop the cash...
i fish alot of horny toads so i went with a 7'3'' heavy action fenwick frog stick. 40-60 pound braid i use a 7.0 high speed lefty reel..hooks i used only one 4/0 ewg gammy and have caught over 2300 bass with that ONE hook.. zooker

2300 Zook, it begs to ask if you have no life outside of fishing or were you fishing off the ark with Noah

http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/descpageHBFR2S-RBW.html#anyone have an opinion on the river 2 sea bully croaker? I havn't tried it, but I really like the shape of the belly keel, seems like it would walk good.
But, it is hard to beat the spro green/black I've caught so many bass on that frog this year it looks like it got into a fight with some rough grit sandpaper, but still fishes like its brand new Last edited by doc; 08-15-08 at 02:26 PM. Reason: added nice frog fish photo :) |

The Spro is my frog of choice. I fish it with a 7' heavy action St. Croix Frog-n-Slop rod and 55 lb Diawa braided line. Best casting braid I've ever used!
