On the live class Monday we talked about frog fishing quite a bit. One of the things that mentioned wast that all frogs aren't created equal. Some really are better than others for certain scenarios. I thought I'd give a gear list of my favorite frogs with links that you can view or buy them at.

Jakal Iobee - Best for finesse open water frogging.

Spro Bronze eye - Best all around frog. If I had to live with one it would probably be this one.

Bobby's perfect frog - I have nothing to say but if bobby says it's good and he designed it must be good. I haven't used this one a bunch.

Terminator Poppin frog - Good soft popping frog. Best in open water. Poppin is tougher to use around pads

Deps buster K - DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS FROG! LOOKS CRAZY BUT WORKS. Hook ups and easier to walk with the hair tails. It has a very unique action

Use any of this braided line- I haven't really come across any braided line that I feel won't work for frogging just yet.

Rods- Casting Open water frogging ( not heavy cover) 7-2" MH Fast- Casting Heavy cover - 7-3" or larger Heavy Fast

Use any of these rods that fit that description on taper and size
