Re: Rod & Line suggestions for Frog Fishing...?

I agree about Bobby. Everytime I have fished with him it has been 7'6" heavy rods with 65#braid. I have never broken one off on that set up. Allthough I like the R2S frogs better than Bobbys(shhhhh..) Thats not a guy I would want to piss off. I am 6' & 200# and he intimadates me.
