Frogs

This summer I intend to do more frog tossing. I have 65lb braid on my reel. Today's been nice so I was playing around with a pad crasher. Way too light!!! What do you pad fisherman use or do to keep from picking line all day? Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

I have an old black Garcia 5000 reel with 50lb vicous braid on a m/h 7 foot rod. It casts any frog I have used like a charm. I will also use as a Carolina rig set up also with a mono leader of course.

I'm gonna try lighter braid... I had a brand new spool of pp laying around and just went with it. My setup is a 7ft heavy Falcon Bucoo with a JM Carbonlight 7:1. Seems like a good combo I just can't cast without a nest Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

Thats a very similar set up to what I use. Though I usually throw spro's but I would think they're similar. I go 50lbs braid. You may have to play with the reel settings a bit. I find I'm the most accurate with the frog leaving it a little loose and thumbing the reel.

I fished pads a ton last two years with 14lb mono, lots of fish, never broke one off. Never caught anything over 3lb though either...i tried 50lb braid and i dont think you can cast it as far and it also absorbs more water and tends to get a little heavy when your twitching the frog along

I use 40lb braid never had and issue and it casts like a champ.

I'm going to try exactly that... Gonna pick up some 40# Kanzen Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

I use either 20 or 30 lb braid on my spro frogs and horny toads, and I'm fishing them over and around hydrilla that's almost thick enough to walk on in a private lake full of 5s and 6's with the occasional bigger fish. Well rope is absolutely not necessary in this part of the world.

30# Power Pro for us. Lighter braid helps cut through the grass/pads a bit, and casts better. Will use 20# Seguar if only taking a couple of rods for a quick trip, doubles for pitch/flip in that case. The 30# also works on a spinning reel for frogging if you have someone who cannot use a baitcaster. My daughter uses this setup with a 6'6" Falcon 5 power spinning rod and does well.

the only reason I use 40 lb braid is I some times toss a zara puppy and have got it hung up. With 40 lb I can pull hard enough to bend the hook and get the lure back. To each there own . If I was ONLY launching frogs, 30lb, would be fine.
