Hey everyone I got a question,
What kind of rod/reel/line do you guys use for slop-fishing in general (more specifically frog fishing in the lily-pads?)
I had a real hard time casting the frog yesterday morning b/c it just weighs so little b/c it's hollow -- and I was using my 7' Medium Heavy baitcaster with 20 lb mono and was back-lashing like never before even w/ my thumb heavy on the spool. I think b/c the bait weighs so little and I was trying to cast farther, it just didn't work.
I suppose I could try using fireline or braid with a smaller line diameter, or maybe use a different rod in general for frog-fishing. I just assumed that you would want to use a heavy rod/line for this kind of fishing b/c you have to haul them out of the weeds.
Has anybody ever somehow added weight to your frogs?
I was using this exact one...
Thanks for any help.
