About to buy myself a frog and jig setup
Line capacity isn't an issue for pitching and frogging in my opinion. The farthest ill throw a frog is around 30 yards. Anything past that I struggle seeing the frog and the hooksets get tougher. I like 50 or 65lb daiwa j-braid x4 for pitching and frogging. I use fluoro from 16-22lb for pitching and jigs. 1/4 up to 3/4.

Vertical vs Horizontal Line Tie Jigs...???
Placement of the eye, head shape, and "belly" of the jighead is most importsnt to me. But I do prefer Horizantal most of the time unless its a swim jig.

Missing fish
User error. Do you have backing underneath your braid? May be the braid slipping on your spool that is your "faulty drag". Dobyns fast is closer to a moderate fast so in my opinion I dont believe that you need a rod with more flex to it. i use my 735's for frogging and pitching and have a phenomenal hook up ratio. Using both 50lb braid and 20lb fluorocarbon or copolymer.

Need help Selecting a Expride Jig Rod
Although I havent fished the exprides, my non pitching jig rod is a 7'5 medium heavy. I really enjoy it. For pitching jigs I like a more powerful rod. I also use the 7'5 for Carolina rigs.

Getting ready
I love preparation. Always have. Just like you mentioned laying out your jersey before a big game, or getting your combos and tackle ready to hit the water.

Perfect Alabama Rig setup
Id go with a 7'6 medium heavy musky rod. Can get a fairly inexpensive one from bps. Reels I'd go with a round reel like a cardiff or calcutta, or an inshore, or 300 sized baitcaster with 65lb braid.
