Bass Fishing for Beginners: Choosing a FROG ROD (Froggin and Flippin Stick - 2018)

This video will help you choose the correct rod for frog fishing based on length, power/action, and where you fish!
Frog fishing can be frustrating for beginner bass anglers. However, I still see people who have many years of bass fishing experience struggle with topwater frogs. There is a lot of talk around FAST reels and HEAVY braid but what about rod selection? Many new anglers just take a reel with braid on it and put it on a rod...BOOM...FROG ROD. However, there is more to it than that.

[@Mourning2295]

I am seriously grateful for how well you explain these things. i'm actually building my gear based off your vids. makes me extremely excited for getting into bass fishing!

[@DEBOSFishing]

That means a lot man. Thanks for watching!

[@djason9]

You've been an awesome guide for my beginner bass fishing lessons. I'm starting with Shimano SLX baitcasting rods and SLX 150XG and SLX DC 150XG reels as my starting setups. Getting ready to start working my local ponds and lakes to see how things start panning out for me. Thanks again for your great instructional videos, and keep them coming!

[@patrickconnors8403]

My experience is minimal, so as usual... you have provided great information and having these videos available is just like have a library of teaching within "easy reach" before rigging up before that next adventure on the water. Thanks.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Patrick Connors THIS is the reason I do it. I love helping and teaching others! I'm glad this helped my man! Tight lines and good luck!

[@jameswegman1256]

Great channel, always useful info, and a whole lot less histrionics than on other fishing channels! Much appreciated! You and "Richard Green, the fishing machine " are about all I watch anymore!

[@DEBOSFishing]

That means a lot man. I know we both appreciate the support 👊

[@MrSpeedyNYC]

I love your videos. You really break it down, which most of the other KZbinrs fail to do in their videos. Thanks for your hard work. Keep it up!

[@DEBOSFishing]

You're welcome man. Thank you, that means a lot to me!

[@baitnboujee4369]

Well, there it is! Debo said that length matters. Lol 😂 great video again my man. So much information you really hit the nail on the head.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Bait N' Boujee thanks man, happy that you support my channel. I'm trying to think of ways to keep it fresh!

[@134rwa]

Since length does matter, Lol, my current frog rod is 7'3", but thanks to some Bass Pro Shops gift cards from a close friend, I will next try out my new 7'6" rod.

[@DEBOSFishing]

RWA Fishing both of those would be great lengths for frogging man!

[@samdelaet3587]

Good lord man I’m learning so much from you. Based off this video which I’ve watched 2 or 3 times now, I bought my frog rod today. A Lew’s Mach 7’4” Heavy, Fast action. Bought a spool of 50lb Berkeley x5 braid and now I’m researching reels in the 7.?:1 ratios. I have some really nasty spots I can’t wait to fish with this new setup! Thanks again.

[@oaksterslive7883]

"Length Doesn't Matter" Thank You Debo!! Thank You, Now I can tell all the ladies at work, they were wrong. This will shut them sirens up

[@DEBOSFishing]

Okster's Bassin 🤣😂 I'm not even going there brother! Hahah thanks for watching!

[@oaksterslive7883]

LOL

[@dustingross1535]

Right now I'm just getting really adept at froggin and absolutely loving it. I have a medium heavy, extra fast tip 7'3" Powell Nusance rod. Supposed to be a jig, Texas rig, Carolina rig rod but it works perfectly with my KVD Poppin Perch. Abu Garcia Revo X baitcast 7.3:1 gear ratio with 65 pound braid spooled up on that. Caught my new PB yesterday with it, 5.25 pound Largemouth Bass. Whole rod and reel set up was a birthday/father's day gift from my parents and wife 😎

[@raddad1022]

Thanks for the vids Debo! I always enjoy you explanations and knowledge.i just bought a new rig for frogging, flipping etc. I went with a 7’2” Hvy/Fast Shimano SLX paired with the SLX 8.2:1 reel 65lb braid. It’s load is for 1/2 to 1 1/2 oz lures. Ready to get it out soon.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Nice man! That's the exact same rod I've been using for frogs this year and love it! Thanks for watching and tight lines!

[@PDPIE1029]

How’s that reel working? I just got mine and I’m unsure on if I should use my 8.2 SLX or my 7.3 revo six hs. On for frogging and the other for more open less thick cover. Does the SLX have plenty of torque to haul through the cover? Thanks in advance!!

[@raddad1022]

Nendo Crescendo I have the Revo SX. Both reels have done very well for me. I run a Revo LH for frogging & Top Water. I run the SLX RH for frogging and flipping/pitching. I like both reels and I run them both on the same SLX Rod.

[@PDPIE1029]

RadShad310 Awesome, thanks for the input!! Good luck fishing

[@michaelloucks4448]

Dear debo excellent explanation of these rods. Young man I'm almost 60 yrs old and I'm very impressed with your knowledge thank you so much for these videos on kast king rods. I've used very expensive rods and their just not worth it I'm sold on the kk rods.god bless you and your family your pal fisherman Mike

Found this video after talking to you! You covered all my questions! Thanks!!!!

[@DEBOSFishing]

Awesome man, glad I could help! Have a good weekend!

[@mikestephenson6309]

I just received my rods and reel yesterday. The speed demon pro 7'5'' flippin rod is a very nice rod very sensitive and light weight. The Royale legend I got is 7'3'' medium heavy and the action is about perfect for moving baits. I was sceptical of these rods because of the price but have been very impressed with the build quality. I plan on buying several more of the speed demon bass and speed demon pro rods I'm eyeing up the 7'2'' frog and 6'10'' jerkbait rod. Great information in this video very well done sir.

[@DEBOSFishing]

mike stephenson great to hear man. I'm totally in love with the Speed Demon Pro Rods! That flipping rod has been money for me!

[@jessemedinajr1485]

Thanks for the tip on using a flipping stick and just swapping out reels. That's a legit idea 👍

[@DEBOSFishing]

You're welcome man. Thanks for watching!

[@geraldbergevin1544]

So much good information. I need to watch this video several times.

[@chickenguru4]

Never seen your vids before and never seen a video really explaining the multiple frogs set ups available and why. Nice video. For me I’m new to frogging and I’m using 7’ mh fast. Seems ok but without experience I can’t say much.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yoooo! Thanks for watching man! Yes, a MH will do for open water applications if you use braid. You'll still be able to drive those hooks. If you get into thick muck and vegetation, you'll definitely want a heavy power rod. Otherwise, you'll struggle getting fish out and sometimes not drive those hooks. Hope this helps man!

[@chickenguru4]

DEBO'S Fishing yes I’m using 40 lb braid. Just new at it so maybe a future purchase is coming. Also I’m in Ontario and we don’t get the donkeys that are probably more common in the south. Thanks again

[@DEBOSFishing]

@@chickenguru4 you don't NEED another setup. Make due with what you have. Just be cautious if you get in REALLY thick grass. You may have a hard time pulling the fish out. That rod will still work fine for light vegetation! Good luck brother!

[@strinhinottawa]

I'm really enjoying your content, and especially your exuberance! Hope the channel continues to grow!

[@DEBOSFishing]

Sang Trinh thank you very much my friend, that means a lot to me. I'll continue to put out what I can!

[@bigjackKin]

Really great video. I am using an AbuGarcia MH 7-0 w/ 50# braid for frogging but have been looking for something a bit heavier as my local small lakes have lots of heavy slop. I just picked up a Lews Carbon Fire 7-3 Heavy FA and can't wait til it arrives.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Jack Kinsey that's a perfect rod to go to for frogging! I'm glad this helped my man, thanks for watching!

[@agapeguy777]

Hi sir! Love my Daiwa Tatula 7-4 frog rod. I use my heavy/fast frog rod for saltwater / pier fishing, because it's so light and I'm a little guy (5-8). I wanted something light, with lots of power so I could use 60-65 lb braided line with a Shimano TLD reel. It works great, just have to clean it really well after use in SW. I love this frog rod for saltwater angling! My personal preference.

[@134rwa]

Good solid information. My workhorse frog rig is the Abu Garcia Veritas 7'3" medium heavy, fast action. It has quite a wide range, rated from 1/4 to 1 ounce, but I think asking it to handle as light as 1/4 ounce is a bit much. It handles more like a heavy action rod. The reel is the Daiwa Tatula CT, spooled with 50lb test braid. My favorite frog is the Snag Proof Phat Frog, I trim the legs very close for more distance on the cast. If you happen to view my channel, you'll see the thick pads that I pull those bass through.

[@DEBOSFishing]

RWA Fishing I didn't know you had a channel. I'll check it out! That's a great workhorse combo! I need to check those frogs!

[@134rwa]

Thank you so very much for subscribing to RWA Fishing! I haven't mentioned it before because I don't want my comments to appear to be a plug for my channel.

[@DEBOSFishing]

RWA Fishing you always support me, I'll do the same. Need to binge on your vids soon to catch up lol.

[@HuckRock13]

Great rod, I almost bought that one. I might still as a trial crankin' rod, for my crankbaits.

[@134rwa]

It is definitely my favorite rod for my frog fishing, and my 3/8 oz and heavier lures. If you use it as your crankbait rod, be careful not to over power those treble hooks on the hookset, I think that rod performs just a bit heavier than it's rating.

[@dynasty4851]

Very well explained. I am kind of a beginner. I want to buy a heavy 7 inch plus rod with some kind of bait casting reel. It's just so many to choose from. Yes I have just been listening to everyone's advice.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Awesome man, greatly appreciate you watching. Have a good week!

[@andrewiantorno6942]

I just bought the 8ft heavy flippin Fast action. I'm a 6ft4 guy I prefer the longer rods. And I will be using this rod for casting spoons and inline spinners for pike. More less it will be my heavy bass set up and will be my new set up for pike.

[@randystreasureadventures]

Thanks for the explanation! I use two set ups for my frogs. One is an old green Curado that I had hot rodded and the drag updated to 20 pounds with carbon fiber and a little machining (yes, I spent too much lol). I use that on a castaway medium heavy skeleton rod with 30# power pro and I would say it’s more the ‘go to’ since it can handle almost any scenario, especially if I tie on a mono leader. The other set up I have is an older Citica with carbon drag, on a TFO heavy 7’3” and 40# power pro. With that setup, fishing from a kayak, if I get one of those impossible snags, I just have to cut the line because the rig is so strong that I can’t get enough leverage from a kayak to force it to release! SO, the TFO is not my favorite setup… Having said all that, I prefer a medium heavy fast action rod to give me a little extra leeway on setting the hook. That heavy TFO rod causes me to miss more fish because there’s just not enough give in there to overcome me setting the hook too early.

[@wadekester9179]

I have a 6'9" med/hevy fast action but I lost a few fish when it came to thick grass I could drive the hooks deep enough gonna upgrade when possible this video helped me a lot on what to get

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yessir, heavy rod will definitely help. Also, I'd recommend braid in that thick grass. Thanks for watching!

[@wadekester9179]

I do use braid I'm a big fan of it to me it cast better plus it floats. Got a new cranking rod the tips from you videos new and old helped me a lot

[@DEBOSFishing]

@@wadekester9179 yes! I'm happy to hear that man!

[@Ephrahn]

I just picked up a 13fishing Fate Black 7’3 Heavy fast rod and a Royal Legend reel for frogging. Was using my MH rod but a lot of the ponds here in Tampa are thick with muck and veg

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yeah, the heavy rod will be better suited for that. Thanks for watching man!

[@MonsterChuck]

I have never lost as many fish as when I was trying to use a MH fast action rod for frogging. I switched to a Dobyn's Fury 73MagH and it was NICE! I have since switched to a Champion XP 73XH and it is even better because it is lighter. Nothing better than an XH rod for frog fishing. Can really lay into the hook set and make the fish come to you. Use a Shimano Curado H fast for straight retrieve frogs/toads.

[@Mr._L30.]

Damn Debo, just ran across this video. I like it. I fish creeks and rarely ponds so all I have been using is a 6’6” MH fast action rod with 20lb flouro just fine. The Lew’s Classic Pro has been working quite well.

[@DYTangler]

Great video, right now I use a 7 foot medium Abu Garcia Vendetta with a kastking Spartacus chartreuse reel. But it has way too much Flex in it so I have a favorite fishing balance. And I got the 7'4 extra heavy ,medium-fast flairs frogging stick coming and have a kastking speed demon reel and kastking 50lb braid coming for it I live in Southwest Ohio so I didn't think 65 lb braid was necessary.

[@DEBOSFishing]

DYTangler I used to have an Abu Vendetta 7' 2" H I think it was then the 7'5" veritas frog specificrod. Both worked great for me. I switched last year to a 7'H and now to the rods you see in the video. I use 50# braid most of the time and it does the job. However, nothing wrong with going a little heavier! Thanks for watching man!

[@FISHANE84]

If I chose a rod that was my height I would NOT be fishing ;)

[@DEBOSFishing]

[@hhsbaseball2007]

Love the videos. I’ve spent much time watching them. What’s your take on the lews crush combo? 7’2 med heavy rod I believe. Any input would be greatful. Keep the videos coming

[@DEBOSFishing]

Thanks man, appreciate you watching. I love the mach crush reel. I haven't used the rod though. A med heavy may be a bit light if you fish in really thick stuff. Open water situations with braid you'll usually be good.

[@TimHaunFishing]

I mentioned this on another one of your videos but I just picked up the Lew's Speed Spool & Speedstick Combo. LFS 7.5.1 Speed Spool Reel and a Lews 7' Medium Heavy, Fast Rod. I feel like I did a pretty good job of picking a setup I can get versatility out of.

[@adoseofscience6865]

Well hello there, I am a Canadian fisherman I and I am very much interested in the KastKing speed demon pro set up, however, I mainly fish for Pike/Musky, using spoons, which set up would you recommend, my family has a annual fishing tournament, and I would love to get something nice, as I am the only person without a nice rod. Cheers and thank you for your time.

[@DEBOSFishing]

I wouldn't use these. I would get a heavy duty rid rated for pike and muskie. Same for the reel. Look for one with an aluminum frame and handle sideplate. Thanks for watching man.

[@HuckRock13]

As far as the thick cheese, I have a spot, I don't go to often. Lots of cover, lots of laydowns, thick cheese (heavy grass) the whole 9, but also lots of milfoil as well, so on that part of a local lake, I stay away from my main lures and stay to top water. Usually, a frog, a spook, or a popper. My favorite frog that I own, out of several that I have, is my white and gray Terminator Poppin' Frog. The bass didn't bite on it this past weekend, but I know they will eventually.

[@c.shoefish]

I personally use an old St Croix 6'6" heavy fast action, spent a long time trying to find use for it...until I got a boat and using the shorter rod is awesome for frogging. Good for heavy jigs too

[@dizzlesfeeshin8966]

Yet again great vid Debo

[@DEBOSFishing]

Randy McLane thanks brother, always appreciate you! Hoping we can sling some sticks soon! 👊

[@thelowmein9143]

Is there a choice that is most versatile? A setup that can do well frogging but also work for Texas rig worms or crankbaits? As a bank fisherman I’m trying to limit the number of rods I carry.

[@JohnAmes]

Nice video very informative always learn a lot watching your videos

[@DEBOSFishing]

John Ames thanks my man, appreciate your support on all of my videos!

[@idahok9trapper470]

Love the speed demon pro 7'11" H punching rod for frogging , heavier jigs and obviously punching . Paired with a Kastking speed demon pro casting reel with 65# Suffix 832 braid . It Hammers them . Going to try the magnum swimbait rod next for the biggest of swimbaits and those bucket mouth teener bass , should be a blast . Love the channel Brother

[@EddieLindsay681]

Another great vid sir, I use a Castaway Taranis X 7’ mag heavy moderate action with a BP CarbonLite reels spooled with 50lb braid., not the usual setup but I like it.

[@DEBOSFishing]

[@alvinwine5665]

I enjoy flogging ever since I first watched Bill dance do it in early 1970 I like using a mh rod and right now I'm using a quantum pt reel baitcaster I've had it for a while but I'm slowly switching over replacing my current rods n reels with kast king so after new years it's 1 new outfit a month for me until I own all the kast king rods n reels , everyone sees me with all these different sets of combos and they say what's with all the different rods and reels I say a different setup for different fish they just don't get it sometimes I take as many as 15 different set ups with me and each one is species specific, maybe one day they will understand thanks Debo.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Frog fishing is too much fun. Thanks for watching!

[@feralgrandad4429]

Just about to spool up my KastKing Stealth with some 65LB line. Running the 7' 1" Perigee MH rod. I'm only 5' 6" but didn't want to go any shorter coz wanted some distance on my cast so I'll put up with it being slightly inconvenient in cover :-)

[@brianrobinson9979]

Hey Debo, what do you know about "Mag" class rods? I've been seeing them recently but I can't find any explanations as to their power difference. I've seen some people say that they're softer than a regular heavy and others say they're stiffer..... What's your view on them?

[@DEBOSFishing]

Brian Robinson hey man. There is no industry standard so it makes it hard. I believe it's a stiffer power. Like a half power up. So a mag heavy would be between a heavy and an extra heavy. If you look at the lure weight of the rod, that's a good indicator. I would contact the rod company so they can tell you exactly what it means for their line of rods. Thanks for watching man!

[@stephenolson6486]

[@AnubhavAnkitGeorge]

Bro. Nice tips on choosing fishing rod.how about casting reel for frogging.? Why can't you make an other part of this video. I'm from India and would like to ask a lot doubt, as I go 3 to 4 times a week for snakehead fishing and my castings reel which is Royal Legend and black is now not so smooth retive as they were new after oiling and greasing I m not about to achieve that smooth retrieve. Can you tell me why is it ? Do you face this issue as well? How long is casting reel life ? If you can respond so it would be great help to me.

[@theinquisitiveprince7095]

For myself, I had to find the right rod for my height. The 7' 4" works perfect for me. It is a heavy power with the spiral wrap guides.

[@mattbarber4199]

[@HuckRock13]

I use a Dobyn's Flippin' Stick the 765 model that is 7'6". Stiff as a board! I pair that with a 6:4:1 Lews Speed Spool baitcasting reel. Works great, I shopped for several years, watched hours of You Tube then went after it, finally.

[@DEBOSFishing]

[@mychaldsainz4316]

I love frog fishing and I usually use my MH but have been really looking into getting a heavy rod If I get a heavy rod is there a lot of feel difference from a MH to H when like walking the frog or popping a popper

[@whiteyxj8367]

Hey Debo absolutely love your channel it's been helping get familiar again with fishing been about 14 years since I picked up a rod and reel now I got a kayak and been going out the last couple weeks but I only have 1 old baitcaster that now is showing its age and I need a new setup. My question is what other type of lures can you use on a frogging rod setup? I dont want to spend close to 200$ on something only set up for one lure type I think I'm leaning towards the speed demon reel you linked and a 7'2" heavy fast action on braid so I can still work the frog using the tip but what other lures would benefit from this setup? Also note this will be my first braid setup and my current setup is a 6'0" Shakespeare with a very old quantum baitcaster thank you again please keep up this amazing content so helpful I love it!

[@thebeardedangler8714]

I just purchased a lews Mach 2 7 foot four combo heavy. And I had that in my head as that is going to be my frog and Rob I also have a Googan squad muscle rod that I’m going to put a SLXDC real on which one would you prefer to be a dedicated frogging rod Rod

[@azscout9071]

7'11" heavy extra fast carrot stick for heavy cover med/heavy mod/fast to fast for open water. Option 2 being a work horse rod I use for tons of stuff

[@DEBOSFishing]

Az Scout I like both of those options man! Thanks for watching!

[@ryanwillis4792]

Was using Flairs Flippin and Froggin Rod last year and got amazing hook sets, then it broke when I accidentally snagged it on a limb in my kayak. Picked up Dobyns Fury 735C Mag Heavy, and haven’t hooked a single frog yet. Every time I set the hook it comes flying out of the water. Not sure if it’s the rod, or maybe I’ve been watching too many videos about hooksets. I’ve been waiting longer to set the hook, whereas last year I just waited two seconds and whacked em. The Flairs was a mod fast. I may go back to that

[@womric08]

7'3" heavy fast field and stream tango rod with a abu garcia black max real 30lbs braid but I do need to upgrade on the line the pond I fish is loaded will lily pads and the bass love to wrap around them

[@JEEPLIFEOZZY]

I have a question that I haven't really seen answered. I currently have a pretty light weight set up that I use for worms and all those plastics. Works fine. I tried using a baitcaster and it's just simply not for me. I'd like to get a med heavy or heavy rod but with a SPINNING reel. Can I make that work? What's the downfall of using a spinning instead of a baitcaster when it comes to frogging or jigging.

Hey Debo - I’m toting a KastKing Royale Legend 7’ Med/Hvy Fast Action rod and KastKing Royale Legend Elite 7.3:1 reel spooled with 20lb braid. I’ll be fishing from a Nucanoe Frontier 12. Is the 20lb braid heavy enough for frogging lily pads and grass? Thanks for helping a newb and as always great vid!

[@DEBOSFishing]

Hey man. I personally don't fish below 50# braid for frogging. Some may say it's overkill but so is insurance. Pay for it for years and never use it. I've broke 40# braid frogging and never used it again. I'd rather be sure my line is ok and not second guess what I'm throwing around. Hope this helps man!

Awesome video Debo! I have a question, I have MH 7' rod paired with a Lews speed stick that I use for my T-rigs and light jigs and I'll even use crank baits on it. I also have a medium light spinning gear setup for my finesse fishing. For my third rod and reel setup would you recommend going for a flipping rod you showed in this video or the heavy frogging rod? I didn't know if I could use that rod for top water like poppers and frogs, then switch up and use heavier jigs, T-rigs and swim baits? I'm primarily a bank fisherman and I was wanting to find a good third rod and reel. Thanks any help bro!! Love the channel!!

[@DEBOSFishing]

Hey man, thanks for watching! It really boils down to personal preference and how heavy of cover you fish. If you don't fish a lot of wood and thick grass, you can get away with a MH for Texas rigs, jigs, and frogs. I would pick up a medium power Moderate fast rod for all crankbaits and topwater. BUT...If you do fish wood and thick grass, a heavy power rod is essential! Use it for t-rigs, frogs, jigs, etc. I wouldn't throw any trebel hook baits on a heavy power rod. Hope this helps man!

I use a 7’3” heavy Fast action with 65lb braid and a 8.1:1 reel

[@leonardbeiner4898]

Hey DEBO I am a beginner at this stuff and since I am disabled I only have 2 ponds I can fish right now, the first one has bluegill, trout, and Largemouth bass it has lot of open water, thick grass and there's a section where it splits and has a lot of downed trees. The second has smallmouth bass and perch, this pond has mostly open water with a patch of grass a lot of rocks and I guess logs on the one side and its very clear. So I have enough for only 1 good rod and reel ( I was thinking of the KK Legend and a perigee 2 rod I or not.) and let me know what you recommend for tackle line , hooks, baits etc. I need all the help you can give. Thanks really enjoy your videos learning a lot.

[@alexryherd9810]

The problem I have with choosing rods is being a short guy and primarily a bank fisherman on small secluded ponds is it's hard to find the right length , some areas I can't roll cast and the cover is too thick and above my head behind me that I always get my lure caught in overhand and cover 😂

[@DEBOSFishing]

I hear ya there man. I've struggled with that for years too. Luckily there are a ton of rod options. No probs finding a shorter rod that will fit your style! Thanks for watching 👊👊👊

[@seizedcarcass8440]

Is a abu Garcia black max a good froggin and flippin reel? I’ve got a 7ft medium heavy rod for it but no reel to pair with it.

[@rshock]

7-0 medium heavy, love it, I have yet to catch anything with a frog. Just doesn’t happen, spook is good, whopper plopper good just not having luck with any frog lures.

[@scottmcleod5847]

I do not have a frog rod I have a couple of st croix mojo bass in medium and medium heavy fast action 7ft abu garcia revo sx baitcasters 6.4.1 and a 7.3.1 I am fishing a private lake in up state ny can I use the medium heavy rod and 7.3.1 baitcaster or should I go with heavy rod vegetation is Sami thick in spots clear water

[@steven-jellemeijer8412]

Is bass mouth strong enough?. In europe many fish have "soft" lips. heavy rods will just rip out the hook.

[@kyrios6820]

Would a 6’’7 medium light spinner rod spinner with 30lbs braid on it work? That would be cheaper for me but my other option is to use my 7’’0 medium heavy bait caster rod and get a cheap new reel that I can spool with some braid that would be on the more expensive side for me or I can get a new spinning rod that’s medium heavy btw I am 5 foot tall

[@averagejoefishing305]

And this is why I bought the speed demon pro froggin’ rod. I didn’t have to think about anything. Just put the one that said frog in the cart and call it a day!

[@DEBOSFishing]

It has been a good rod. I like the stiffer flipping stick for thick vegetation. Thanks for watching man!

[@brendanspencer2550]

I realize this is very old, however I am contemplating a rod similar to this for tiger musky (using a specific approach that is very different from most musky guys') thoughts on the mojo bass series rods?

[@1984duck]

What do you think of the ugly Stik carbon for frogs. Med heavy with fast action?

[@bgcathcart79]

Im looking for a heavy rod flipping and pitch heavy cover and to uses as a frog rod what power rod would i use

[@willtrax71]

Do you have a Frog Lure suggestion for a beginner? There are a Plethora of Frogs on Amazon..!!!

[@johnbaker4847]

learned more about med or heavy rod and what differ actions meant, now, how does it all apply to a small kayak? 😨🤔😜 lol😎

[@DEBOSFishing]

Haha well a lot is the same. I know the hookset and fight is a bit different because you're sitting down though. I think that's why braid is a popular choice.

[@johnbaker4847]

@@DEBOSFishing my hardest cast in the kayak is a backhand cast, I just CANNOT seem to keep my thumb on the reel... 😝

[@CeeEmmz]

Hey dude talking about frogging, im thinking of using my 6'8 fenwick jig n worm rod for frogging, will it be ok?, just have it laying around as a spare, and since i have no frogging rod thought id use it for it lol, is it a good idea?

[@DEBOSFishing]

Is it a MH? It will be ok around light cover as long as you use braid. If you get in the thick stuff, you may be underpowered. You may also have some issues on really long casts. But, you'll be able to be accurate with that short rod.

[@CeeEmmz]

DEBO'S Fishing yes sir it’s a medium heavy fast, was thinking of using 30lb braid or shall I go higher say 50?

[@DEBOSFishing]

@@CeeEmmz I would go at least 50 for froggin.

[@CeeEmmz]

@@DEBOSFishing thank you :) i went 50lbs 36mm j braid :D is it also worth it using a mono leader? or not really?

[@DEBOSFishing]

@@CeeEmmz I only use the mono leader for walking baits/ poppers. Any frogs or retrieve baits don't need a leader.

[@stephenolson6486]

Also looking at getting a favorite big sexy 7ftheavy fast action casting rod for frogs also looking at a kistler magnesium 2 medium light for finesse tactics is this a worthy setup or should I switch it up your thoughts

Lew’s Mach speed-stick pitching rod 7’4” heavy, fast action with 65# braid on a LFS 7.5:1 reel.

Sick setup man. The LFS is a sick reel.

Thanks man.

[@jacobstacy588]

Every one got there own way I like what dean Rojas does he uses a 7 foot medium heavy fast action tip for frogs

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yep, a number of different ways to do it man. Thanks for watching!

[@vincientbtucker6238]

I'm 5'11. I like Bass fishing,what actually rod and reel combo for a beginner

[@chadtindell4388]

I am 6’3 and I have a 7’7 heavy Dixie custom rods meat stick will that work for frog fishing Debo?

[@DEBOSFishing]

I'm not familiar with their rods but I would certainly think so. You'll be able to make long casts and have enough power on hooksets. You may suffer with accuracy around wood and such. Could also be tough to work thr frog with a longer rod, but that's totally based on the user and what length you're comfortable with. Thanks for watching man!

[@dylanmathews7233]

So will the frog specific rod work for Buzzbaits fishing as well????

[@dr.michaelr.foreman2170]

Not big on fishing bass. Where I originally come from, we always fished for trout. Where I come from we did not haul out of the water those little dinks like i see in so many trout fishing vids. We hauled out 25" and larger trout. So, when I moved to where I now live, several hours south from where I grew up, I was shocked to hear people not know anything about trout fishing. Bass fishing here seems to be limited as well. In fact, I was shocked to find fish here, I have never seen in my life - sheep head, pickerel, perch etc. If all I catch now is sheep head, I give them to the local Chinese who love them but, everyone else just throws back. Nevertheless, not wanting to give up, I bought a nice frog lure, and other lures and soft baits with the hopes of catching some bass. There are a ton of stripped base around here - but again, the people who grew up around here - turn their noses up at stripped base. Perch and pickerel seem to be the only fish people go after here. I am already considering moving back north, just so I can catch large trout and even bigger salmon. The rod I use for bass here is about 6' medium, fast action, with a bait casting reel. I just bought a new 8' 6" Shimano, Scimatar rod, medium heavy rod. What a beauty she is. Love it.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Nice man. Bass fishing is what I've grown up doing. But I got into pike fishing the last few years. It's a blast. A lot of people turn their nose up at it but they are viscous and the topwater blowups are insane. I'll fish for them all day. Don't listen to others, do what you like and enjoy! Thanks for watching man.

[@dr.michaelr.foreman2170]

My friends, instead of going on a family vacation, all head up north to northern Ontario specifically to go pike fishing. As for me, I think I have caught only one bass in my life and, that was by accident. LOL Give me a nice big trout or a salmon and I am a happy camper. Hell, down here, you cannot even buy trout row for fishing. Truly, I moved into hillbilly country in Ontario.

[@DEBOSFishing]

@@dr.michaelr.foreman2170 . Hahah make sure you carry bear spray or something out there!
