Budget frog reel
Feugo is a great choice. If you go with something else, my emphasis would be on the aluminum frame over the drag. But with budget setups you often have to make sacrifices. Good luck.

Spring jig trailers for stained water?
I agree with Team9nine. In my area, I start with chunks (or pork if you can find it) in early spring and move to trailers with more action as the water warms.

Lake St Clair Rookie
Haven't been to St. Clair in 20 years, but we would always find off shore grass beds and toss tubes. We would stay in Belle River and usually go in June. Some of the best fishing I've ever experienced. Have fun!

Catching the same fish over and over
Had it happen to me some years back at a farm pond I would fish. You could catch this bass twice a day, everyday, for about a month always in the same laydown. Turned out, it had a soft plastic lodged deep in its throat. This was before I knew how to get a gut hook out (thank you BR). I believed it was starving and in turn, was super aggressive. I hoped the hook would rust out before the fish died but it didn't turn out that way.

Lake St. Clair, MI
I haven't been to LSC in a number of years. Good to hear it still produces like I remember.

Rod Regret?
7'-1" M XF E6X Nothing wrong with the rod. I bought it with the intention of using it as a finesse rod paired with a Daiwa SV 105. It absolutely launches a ned rig. However, I quickly learned that the ned rig isn't for me and doesn't fit my style of fishing. I can't seem to find another presentation that I enjoy fishing that suits this rod better than others in my collection.

Frogs - setting the hook
I used to miss a lot too. I switched to a moderate action rod and now I miss very few.

Rapala Balsa Xtreme BX Brat hook replacements
I agree. I haven't fished them yet but picked up a couple last week and they seem of high quality out of the box. Hope they produce as I expect them to.
