re: Froggin for Bass

Great thread. Lets talk frog fishing gear.

Types of water fished and:
Rod, reel, line, lure, tackle.

I mostly fish medium sized ponds from the bank and small reservoirs from a boat in TX . Most have heavy vegetation with some lilies and reeds sticking up.

I like a 7ft MH graphite rod with a fast action tip and a baitcaster reel with a high drag rating. Currently using a Kistler All purpose MH rod which has a fast action tip with a BPS Nitro reel.

I like to spool with power pro moss green 30lb braid for frogs. I always use a Palomar knot with braid.

I have many different types of frogs but have been doing well with

Stanley Ribbit frog with a Stanely weighted wedge hook lately.






However, it requires a near constant retrieve like a buzz bait. For a slower bite/ presentation I like the unwieghted wedge hook or hollow frog imitations like the Scum Frog and the Spro frogs.







If fishing for smallmouth or in areas with less vegetation or smaller fish, I will use the H&H frogs with a Blitz un weighted hooks or the mister twister keeper hooks. I will also step down to a M rod and use 14 to 20 lb mono.
