When I am fishing frogs in cover I always tie braid directly to the frog, and when I am fishing a frog in open water situations I always use mono line. So to answer your question, no I never use a leader when frog fishing.

The 1/16th oz Bitsy Bug and a Paca Chunk is my go to jig setup when the bite is tough. I usually start out everyday throwing it just to see what kind of mood they are in. My only problem with these jigs is the quality; I have probably burned through at least 100 in the past few years.

I like using my straight shanks for pitchin/flippin, but I'll try that out this spring and see how it works!

I primarily use Gammy EWGs for my plastic fishing. After missing more than my far share of fish this past summer, I'm starting to think its time to see what everyone else prefers for worms/stickbaits. Let me know!

It looks very similar to The Scott Challenge, which is one of my favorite shows, so I have high hopes!

My Plano bag I use when traveling has lasting about 3 years now without any problems...With that being said I don't know what they have for larger boxes.

Adding on to J's great pics, this baby come flipping a North Star Custom Baits jig under that tree in the background.

I use photobucket to convert my photos. Once they are converted, simply copy and paste the image code in your post....Very simple!

BTW what kind of Hippy jig is that?

x2. The best swimbait hook on the market. Also I use 12 lb P-Line cxx on my swimbait rod.

Need to try these; have only heard GREAT things in regards to this hook

I replace every treble hook bait with Owner Stinger ST-36's

WOW what a toad!

Nice bass dude! Not much better than jig fishing

But I like to keep it simple. No matter what body of water I fish I always start with this

Never had a problem with my drag slippin, but I don't flip anything close to what you Californians do. I also have a Revo SX and ABSOLUTELY love it....I dont want to say it, but its probably the smoothest reel Ive ever used, and im a Shimano guy :-/

One word.....YES

Everyone has already make the comments that are important to think about. focus on finding out where the fish are, and then pick the right jerkbaits that correlates with their location, and how they are feeding. Are they active or sluggish? This is a VERY important question you have to ask yourself in order to pick a suspending/floating, small/bigger, loud/quiet, etc... When fish are suspended in more than 10 ft, I like the throw a deep x-rap. In anyother situation I am throwing a pointer 100 95% of the time. One other random tip...In cold water situations, literally wait 10-15 seconds in between jerks. This could make or break your day.

These along with being well built with a aluminum frame, gears etc. Flippin and pitchin are gonna be the hardest techniques on your equipment so you have to make sure your equipment is beefy enough to handle it. Look into a chronarch...A little expensive, but it is worth it.
