Welcome to the group guys. Looking forward to seeing you guys experiences here on the community section. I'd love to hear more about where you fish!

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

I know we have new members. Frogging has come up a ton in the community conversations. I’m gonna share some of the workshops and quick tips from last year for you guys to soak with.

This weekend I'm looking forward to the challenge that Hurricane Debby will present.  Virginia is expected to get several inches of rain on Thursday thru Friday and I will be fishing the Potomac River over the weekend. Not sure what to expect but eager to see if I can figure something out. I got some ideas but can I adjust when it doesn’t work out. 🤷‍♂️

Share with the rest of your answers to these questions…

1. What’s something you want to get better at fishing this year.

2. Why do you think you struggle with that particular thing?

3. What’s something that you feel you have improved on or learned before. How did you do it?

4. How do you plan on executing on this new deal?
