I quit using fluoro carbon. I now use P-line Fluroclear starting 6 lb to 15lb.

Were I to try a spinning rod for frogs, I would look for a 7 1/2 foot MH rod and cut it down to 7’ or so to make it more of an extra heavy rod. I would think that a 4000 size reel would be a must to have a drag to handle 50 lb braid. That combo should be able to stick a frog hook.

Evidently I think the Visions are worth the price. I have a few $100s of them.

It’s hard to drag a 3/4-1 oz sinker in heavy milfoil. My solution is to use 2 3/8 oz tungsten sinkers to equal 3/4 oz. Will pull through the grass easier and you also get a louder click.

Same. I just stick the line in a hole. Been doing that for years.

Broke a 7’ MF Mojo yesterday. Fish was in the boat, flopped and snap couple feet down. Broke a 6’8” Mojo MXF back when the Trigon rods came out. St Croix replaced it with a Trigon which is OK at best. A Trigon will be the replacement so I doubt I will make a claim.

I have a 3000 Nasci on a St Croix Premier split handle. On this rod the extra weight balances better than a lighter reel. I have a Daiwa Fuego 2500 and in my opinion the Fuego is as good as my Daiwa Tatula 2500 and Shimano Vanford 2500.

I use P-line Fluroclear on all my setups. 6 and 8 spinning. 10/12/15 on bait casters. Not a fan of Flurocarbon. I buy 600 yard spools.

I keep two rods rigged Carolina. I rarely use a swivel. 15lb P-line Fluroclear and a Carolina Keeper. 2 keepers above 1/2 oz weight. Two less knots and ability to change leader length. The Carolina rig has been my go too for over forty years and the Carolina Keeper catches just as many fish as rigged with a swivel. I will use a swivel during the fall on super clear water when I drop to a 10 lb leader.

Agree.

Probably been 40 years since I have had an anchor in a boat.

It is. Baby bass color.

I have 2 St Croix Premier spinning rods. M fast, ml fast. Excellent blanks. Actually I find little difference in sensitivity between them and an Avid. I’m guessing you are asking about a bait casting rod. Would be a great sqarebill rod. I would suggest spending a few $$ more and get a Victory 7’2” MHM Power Target Cranker. Will be better balanced, lighter and longer warranty if that matters. I do know the Victory is a great Squarebill rod.

90% of the time I’m throwing a Megabass Vision 110. IMO the small snap I use helps the lure to suspend.

I use a clip on all treble hook lures. Straight tie on all single hook lures.
