Today I went fishing to one of my froggy spots with five different frogs. The goal was to catch a fish on each frog. Having never fished these frogs before, this increased the challenge.
I caught the first fish at 06:14 AM on an all white YUM Tip Toad Frog (4.5″).
I caught the second fish at 06:55 AM on a green pumpkin/chartreuse Strike King Rage Tail Toad (4.0″).
I caught the third fish at 07:12 AM on an all black Strike King KVD Perfect Plastic Gurgle Toad (3.75″).
I caught the forth fish at 07:45 AM on a ghost watermelon Berkley PowerBait Rib Toad (4.5″).
I caught the fifth fish at 07:56 AM on a “June Bug” Zoom Horny Toad (4.0″).
I caught all of these with my new frogging set up. A St. Croix Tide Master rod (TIS80MF), which is a medium power, fast action rod at 8 feet in length, rated for 3/8 oz to 3/4 oz. A Shimano Stradic ST 2500 HGFK, which has 20 lbs of drag and a 6:1 gear ratio. SpiderWire Invisi-Braid (50 lb tests) tied directly to a 50 lb Tactical Anglers power clip via Palomar knot[]. This unconventional frogging set up is very well balanced set up. I made loooong casts for 4 hours via kayak without fatigue or pain. This unconventional frogging set up also allows for fast frog exchanges. I was able to change frogs based on the structure and cover I was targeting without re-tying. Time is fish!
