Well since this has long ago gone south, frogging for those green jumpers was always done with a 22 rifle. Shoot them from across the pond in the throat so they flop backwards onto the bank. No rags or fairy wands needed and no hooks to remove.
I do a lot of vertical fishing. I priced jigging raps and found this on the web. Anyone have experience or opinion about baits like this?

My daughter has laying hens at the farm as a hobby and entertainment for the kids. They catch snails and feed them to the chickens. I don’t have any and don’t want any. My last contact with poultry was raising 25000 free range turkeys.
I looked at the rods at Bass Pro. Most seemed to be noodles or long fairy wands. I called Eagle at Cotner’s Corner. They carry Mr. Giggles Outlaw in 12’. They seem to be a bit stiffer. I want a rod that can put a crappie in the live well without a net but not be heavy.
