Frog Setup 2024
playmaker47 reply :
What's each of ya'lls go to frogging setup? Rod, reel, line, and type of frog. Really wanting to get into this technique this summer.
fishinthedacks reply :
This will be my first year with a dedicated frog set up. I went with a curado g 6 (wanted the 7) - Abu Garcia rod MH, as far as frogs Ive got around 25 new ones from river 2 sea Larry dhalberg, to ***, strike king kvd sexy frog, snag proofs, booyah etc etc etc
Really going to invest the time to see what works best for me this year.

dobyns 735c savvy series, daiwa tatula 7:3:1, 60# sunline fx2 braid, booyah pad crasher.
mjseverson24 reply :
I have 3 frog rods set up
1) 7'6" abu vendetta H/F: Lews Superduty 7:1, 65lb PP braid.
2) 7'6" BPS graphite series H/F: Quantum Kinetic PT 7:1 50 lb PP
3) 7'6" GSX Tournement MH/F: Quantum Kinetic PT 7:1 50 lb PP
I only frog in heavy cover so the longer stiffer rods work well for my style of froggin
frogs: KVD, Pad Crasher, Spro

1. Heavy pads will get my new DX 746 with a Zillion Type R and 65 PP. This rod will double for punching which i wanted sensitivity for otherwise I wouldn't spend that much on a frog rod.
2. Open water and buzzing frogs go on the DX 704 and a t3 with 40lb. Again, this rod doubles for trigs and jigs so the dx get sensitivity
BassinLou reply :
My current set up is a 7' 3" H, St. Croix LTB, on 50 lb PP braid on a Abu 2nd Gen SX. Very soon it's going to be a Shimano Curado I..... 
Master Bait'r reply :
7'2" MH/F *** Green, Lew's BB1 Pro @ 7.1:1 w/ 17lb NanoFil in Low Vis green
As for baits... Well... I can't choose just one hollow weedless topwater. There's way too many good ones out there.
Bronzeye poppers
Poppin pad crashers
Bronzeye frogs
Live target frogs
Lunker-hunt lunker frogs
Bettencourt weedless slop rodent
Molix Supernato
Weed Demon
Optimum Furbit frog
ww2farmer reply :
Most of the time I frog with a 7'mh veritas, gen3 revo stx, and 30lb braid.
If I am in the really thick stuff, I use a 7'6" H vendetta, gen1 revo stx, and 50lb braid.
I also have thrown the smaller jr. size frogs often on a 7'M abu Vendetta with a curado 51e, and 20lb braid.
For frogs, I like the booyah pad crashers, and the SK KVD sexy frogs for hollow body types, and zoom horny toads for the other kind.
buzzfrog reply :
7"2 HXF custom with 7:3.1 smoke and my new one is 7'3 MHXF *** with tatula type R 8 gear. Use all frogs but iobee and spro usually are tied on, can wait to try my R2S spitting wa
BassinLou reply :
I left out the second part to the question. When I bank fish I use Booyah pond crasher. When I fish the glades I fish LiveTarget frogs and when they prefer consistent movement I will throw Zoom horny toads.

Same rod and line, and currently I use my Lexa 300. We'll see how the season pans out, you always need more reels right?
I've got a box full of frogs, but Spro and Live Target get used the most. Bought a couple of the *** frogs, hopefully they work as good as advertised.

LOL.... the reel has served me well, and it has caught me hundred's of nice bass over the last few seasons, but I saw and palmed the new Curado and I just had to have to it as my frog reel.
LuckyHandsINC. reply :
I use a Dobyns Champion 735c with a Pflueger Patriarch XT spooled with 50# PP slick.
Favorite hollow belly frog is live target favorite buzz frog is rage tail.

rawjuice reply :
When I put a frog rod together, it was almost 4 or 5 years ago, I didnt have much money at the time so i bought:
BPS Carbonlite 7' MH F/ Quantum Code 7:1.1/ Sufix 50lb braid
Crazy thing is, I never changed it, in the thickest and not so thick, i have horsed 4+lb bass with enough salad to feed an italian family with no worrying. It casts frogs so good and is just a perfect setup, dont get me wrong, I would love to have a newer rod and newer and nicer reel, but i have yet to have a reason to replace this setup, it just plain works perfect.
Im throwing koppers/kvds/spros most of the time, have a bunch of others but koppers and kvd is my fav, will be trying the new lunker frog this year so hope it works good!
jtesch reply :
Revo gen2 Premier, This year it will be a Tatula 7'4" H(frog rod) , 60# samurai and either Spro or Live target frogs.
bigfishbk86 reply :
7'2" Heavy tatula with a 150 smoke high speed and 50lb suffix performance braid . How some of you guys get away with using a MH/4 powered rod is beyond me, unless there is no vegetation around at all, not even submergent.
gulfcaptain reply :
I have 2 different set ups, have a 6-6 mh Vendetta with a Quantum Code and 20lb braid for the smaller frogs....IE live target field mouse and frogs. Then my other set up is a 7" mh Falcon with a Quantum Kenetic and 30lb braid. Also have a 7'3 Falcon if I need a bit more I can use that has an Accurist on it and 30lb braid that also is my lighter punching/pitching set up. And I really like the Ish's Phatt Frog and Poppin Phatty. Easy to walk and they don't sink. And going to be using the Sproz's bronze eye shad as well. I probably fish lighter braid then most, but I haven't had any issues getting fish out of the weeds on 30lb. I think anything else is overkill. Just my opinion.

Farmer must blow your mind with his 7' M. 
I don't have a dedicated frog rod and only a few frogs. If the rod has to be a Heavy, then I have a Zillion Flip and Pitch (7'6" HF), a 7' HF Techna AV and two 6' 10" HF Quantums. I gather from my reading the Quantums would be too short for most frogging. I have several MH rods that I wouldn't be afraid to throw frogs on. The 7'6" Villain is a beast of a MH for one option.

How do you like the T3?
Grantman83 reply :
I like of better than the tatula because of how I palm a reel. It's smaller and the hood actually makes a great flipping switch. As for pitching and casting, it is awesome. The 3d braking system really helps.
buzzed bait reply :
super simple set up for me….
7' St Croix Mojo Frog n slop rod, quantum code 7:1 and 50lb power pro
it hasn't failed me yet….

I just switched 3 of my jig and trig set ups to t3s from 50 size shimanos. The reel was built for my hands. I have the hands of man though so the tatula fits me
daiwaguy reply :
This year is a 7'4" Tatula Frog Rod/ T3 Ballistic Xs w/ 65lb Samurai/ PP reg./Smackdown. Still experimenting till frog season starts,
Back up: 7'4" Light and Tough Frog Rod/Viento 65lb PP reg. Love the walk the twitch switch gives a frog.

Ha! I put my pointer finger around the front of the reel. The brake jutting out was annoying

Oh i do too and i can totally understand how the tall frame can be off putting. My hand is just big enough where that dial hits. Id take a t3 over a tatula though
Blues19 reply :
7' MH Veritas, 7:1 Curado, 50 lb Power Pro. Have yet to use it, but Just bought it recently. I normally throw Spro Bronze Eye Frogs, but bought a bunch of Booyahs to add to my arsenal.
Arv reply :
I rarely throw frogs, but it's on a Dobyns champion 735c with a lews tournament pro spooled with 50# braid. I have a couple booyah pad crashers
big poppa reply :
Currently using a All Star Rods WR1 and a Pfluger President. Its actually a worm rod but its got a fast tip and gets the job done.
masterbass reply :
Frogging will be new for me this year: 1. megabass perfect pitch w/ lews tournament, 50lb power pro, booyah pad crashers, strike king sexy frog, snag proof. 2. falcon bucoo 7' h/mf, lews speed spool.
OntarioFishingGuy reply :
7`4`` H St Croix Legend Tournament Slop N Frog with a Tatula 7.3:1 left handed (I hate switching hands) with 55lb braid. Use for all types of frogs, flipping/pitching/punching and small to mid-sized swimbaits. Easily one of my favorite setups.
BradGuenette reply :
Dobyns 735C/ Chronarch Ci4/#65 Power Pro
fish365 reply :
I have 3, 7'6", 7', and a 6'6" all MH. Don't have grass in the lakes here, but the lakes fluctuate around 30' from winter to summer pool and when they fill, the pockets of pollen and trash are where i go. Like to keep the 6'6" to help get way back under tree branches. Use 7.1:1 reel and 65lb spiderwire with a Spro Bronzeye frog. Use natural colors once sun gets up but love the "Killer" early and late in the day.
Lucky Craft Man reply :
I used to use the G Loomis TWFR935 with a Shimano Chronarch D7. In the offseason, I acquired the G Loomis NRX 916 UBR, which I am going to pair with the Shimano Core 100 MgFV, and I plan on using this as my new frog set-up.
War Eagle 44 reply :
Powell Max 735 with a "tuned" Citica 201E spooled with 65# P-Line Spectrex braid.
As far as lures go I have quite a variety but I'm only really using two brands, Spro and River2Sea. I fish Bronzeye & Bronzeye Jr frogs along with the new Bronzeye Shad from Spro and it's either a Bully Wa or Spittin Wa 70 from River2Sea. I fish frog baits much more than I do toad baits but I do fish toads when the conditions call for them. I've got these narrowed down to basically two brands as well, Strike King and Gambler. The Rage Toad is hard to beat when the fish are really aggressive but the Gambler Cane Toad is my number one toad bait.
I fish all these baits, in every situation and water condition, on the above setup.

I'm thinking about getting a champion 735 to use for jigs, flipping and frogging.

This I'd my setup, but I use 50 lb suffix 832 instead of power pro.
EdsBar reply :
There's some new frog that came out in the Bass Pro catalogue. It is shaped a little different and the hooks are angled so there is less missed hits. I would like to invest in one. They are about 14 bucks each I believe.
bmac31 reply :
The Megabass Pony Gabot? It has a catamaran mouth. The mouth bites into the water, as it does this the rear lift a little so it can hit against the surface. Looks cool! Might give it a try.On 3/28/2014 at 3:43 AM, EdsBar said:There's some new frog that came out in the Bass Pro catalogue.
