that dobyans 795ml seems top notch .... ;D

burley your avitar ,,,, is rather intence .... i do like it tho .... lol ;D

ive been useing the cxx17lb for swimbaits .... i like cxx ;D

i have a okuma 7ft6 heavy with a calcutta 251 on there ,,,, great little set up ... i want to get the dobyans 795ml this season however this rod is on the back burner for now .... as for the reel the calcuttas are top notch ...

this is what i use ..... great line too ....

id say the okuma big bait spec ..... you would want the 7ft6 heavy or the 7ft11 heavy depeneding on your tastes .... you can order them at tackle warehouse around 100bucks give or take .....

David is a great guy to talk to and deal with ..... he really is a class act .... he always helps ,,, and always seems to have great advice ... ;D

nice very nice .... i love the cork .... i may have to move on one of these .... ;D

dont worry ,,, i can tell you from fishing this frog the bass have no trouble getting hooked up .... the horney toad is a buzzing frog ( more like a buzz bait ) where you want a steady retrieve to keep that frog on top .... the spro can sit still for a while or can be walked ( like a spook ) or my go to is just dancing that frog along at different speeds make him look like hes havein trouble .... the bass go nutts .... ... the hooks on the spro are tucked away pritty well ,,, for good reason ... if you fish this frog right you will be tossin your frog in the nasty stuff ...

yea ,,, im a big packers fan .... i really thought we were going to beat the giants :'( ,,, ohh well there is always next season ,,, im over it ... ok so frog stick //// i use the st croix legened tourney bass ( slop n frog ) this is st croixs frog stick ... this stick rates out as a 7ft heavy fast ,,, they really made a killer stick in this one .... ive fished a few different frog rods and will say this stick is far better than any other frog stick i have tryed .... as for the frog i use ,,, there is olny one the spro brnze eye frog ... dean rojahs ( frog man ) helped design this frog and it is a sweet little frog .... i olny buy the reg size not the JR ,,,im olny lookin for the hoggz ... as for takin the bait away from the bass ,,, this more depeneds on the fisherman than the rod .... most bass ive caught will crush this frog ,,, the hard part is giving them that couple seconeds to get it down before you set the hook .... this will take time to get the hook set down .... so if you miss a few dont worry most people do ... good luck ,, once you get it you will love it ..... ;D

i would say ,,, get a 7 ft heavy fast action rod ....thats what i use for froggs i dont think youd have trouble jig fishing eigther ..... you live in the mill ??? im just out side of green bay ,, small world ... ;D

the rods come in weights ,,,, med ,,, med-hev ,,, heavy ... the tips come in actions .... mod ,,, fast ,,, extra fast .... as for the rod ,,, you can purchase a frog rod ..... these rods where designed for frog fishin .... be care full tho they differ from company to company ....

i saw there was also a new td alphas type r coming out in 08 also .... i havent seen any pics ..... i hope there up soon ...

thats one sweet lookin reel .... any ideal on the price???

what would the difference be in the graphite as far as feel ..... i need to know the differences in the sc11 vs the sc1V graphite ..... witch one would have the better feel and how noticable will the differences be in the two ...... :-?

1st look at the blanks if they are labled with the IPC ,,, they are the new 08s .... you can compair your new rods with the 08s if you look at www.stcroixrods.com .... if you scored 2 new rods for that price ,,, chalk one up for the good guys .... LOL / ;D

what length rod do you prefer for your jigs ???? 6ft6 or 7ft and why ???

there are some on japan tackle .com ..... they run 60 bucks ,,, but i believe they are a better spool then the stock one you get with your sol .... check it out ,,,, look down the page you will seee a section named tuning parts you will find it there ....

YES ////

STCROIX

for the hollow frog i pick spro and spro olny for a buzzin frog i pick gambler cane toads ,, ribit frogs ,,, and zoom horney toads ... in that order ...

ok so theres no art ,,,, may baddd .... the olny differences are the ipc and the finish .... ;D

we had a chance and we blew it .... the sun will still come up tommrow ... man that game has me erked

chris ,,, i believe the olny changes in the avids is the color of the blanks and the addition of IPC (intergraded poly curve ) ..... i believe the older blanks had the ART ,,, the new blanks have bolth ..... so i geuss they arent too much different just a few updates .... i was happy with the older avids ,,, however i really like the legened tourey bass series .... i wasnt sure till i baught the slop n frog rod ,,, that is the sweetest stick i own ..... ;D

my mother is native ( lakota sioux ) and irish ..... my father was native ( omaha ) and french ,,, im a mix ,,, or a mutt ..... LOL
