    I could talk froggin for hours too. My first frog rod was the Veritas, but I actually liked it better in the medium/heavy fast action 7ft 3in. I have it in heavy action, but like the medium/heavy better. My current frog rod is the Johnny Morris Platinum Heavy action, 7ft 3in I think, thanks to a Bass Pro Shop gift card from a friend. It feels so much better balanced, and is lighter than the Veritas. My current frog reel is the Daiwa Tatula CT in 7:3 retrieve. I prefer the 7 ratios in my bait casters. This year I'm going to see how my Shimano Curado DC handles frog fishing duties. Braid all the way for frog fishing, when the pads are in full, and the bite is on, I use 50lb test Suffix 832. I have 2 favorite frogs, although I do use others, the Snag Proof Phat Frog, and the Teckel Sprinker. When I need more distance, I'll cut the skirts real short on the Phat Frog, and take the prop off the Sprinker. My current PB is on the Teckel Sprinker.

    Another great video man! On the mono issue, Bamabass absolutely puts the hammer down on some toads with a medium heavy lews and 17 lb stren mono. I (and MANY other people apparently) asked him why he didn't use braid and he said he used braid in pads and heavy cover but in open water, he felt like he got more bites with mono. I'm gonna have to try it. I 100% agree about the $500 rod issue. My first frog rod was a $59 7 foot medium heavy ugly stik. Heavy as hell but it worked until I was sure I wanted a stiffer rod for frog and jig fishing. Keep up the good work man! It's greatly appreciated!👊

    • @DEBOSFishing

    • @DEBOSFishing
      @DEBOSFishing  Před 4 lety

      Yeah, you're going to have blowups and misses on frogs. Coming through stuff they can't always see it. You also don't have two treble hooks hanging down if they swipe. They HAVE to eat it and you have to get that hookset. Not like just pulling in to a treble hook Topwater.

      @vivalabad6 Před 2 lety

      Its nothing you're doing...its just the fish and how they grab the lure. Its a lot of luck with a lot of cover because they may even miss it entirely. I'm pretty sure I've had a lot of pickerel blow up on it as well and there's no way they're fitting a frog in their mouth in a way it can be hooked.

    My frogging combo: Abu Garcia Vendetta 7'3" MH (they run heavier than most rods) Fast Action rod paired this year with a BPS Pro Qualifier II Limited Edition 7.5:1 reel. I don't fish anywhere with super heavy cover so I can get by with 40# test, but that's the lowest I'll go. Knuckles bud!👊👊👊

I bought some 65lb braid on sale last year, but struggle with dedicating one of my few rod and reel combos to froggin. So, I use 17 lb mono, to allow me to use the setup for other top water stuff, like the choppo. Plus, I don’t have too much thick stuff to pull through in the lake I fish, so, I’m mostly in open water over flats and wood. Thanks for the instruction, keep em comin’.

    I'm using the TP1 black 7'4 heavy and I'm loving it. but I'm using a Shimano Curado 200k (CU201XGk) 8.5 in left hand retrieve. I do most of my bass fishing from a kayak and have found this is the ultimate setup for me. I had a lews LFS on it at first and found this one and the lews I took off worked better setup this way for my techniques. on the boat I use my lews 7'6 mag heavy custom speed stick magnum and bought a Curado 200k for it. using 65 pound Seaguar smackdown on the big combo, my 7'4 I use 50 pound smackdown. and I don't have a problem at all with with my guides getting trash or slop in them. you can drop your equipment if you match the frog. I fish my smaller popping frogs on a lews custom black with 30 pound smackdown just back the drag off and you're good. youre right just gotta find what works for you. my frogs are a secret haha

    • @DEBOSFishing

    • @Justin.Hawkins
      @Justin.Hawkins Před 4 lety +2

      I will add, personally I prefer a extra fast tip on my frog rod. When I try and walk a frog with a fast action I get sloppy with it, the extra fast action for whatever reason helps me walk it way better

    • @DEBOSFishing
