This is exactly what I do. Wacky if lack of vegetation/wood allows it. If there's a pretty good chance of snagging I'll go T-rig. I always have to rods for plastics, one weightless and one with a weighted t-rig that I can peg the weight if I want. If it's shallow I'll just re-rig the plastic on the weightless between wacky or t-rig, if I need to get some depth I'll use the weighted. I often change as I work along a bank to match that specific area so both rods are within easy reach of me in my kayak.

I use the Abu Garcia Veritas 7-03 H/Fast for frogging and love it.

I use 30 pound braid but just started using 10 lb flouro was a leader. Too early to tell if it makes a difference but it can't hurt either.

5" for me......

When I'm fishing with hollow body frogs I have another rod right next to me with a plastic worm. If I miss a hook set with the frog I cast right back to the same spot. If I don't get another strike I throw the worm to that spot, often times I get the fish with the worm.

No, maybe sacrifice a little distance but I'm in a kayak, I can get anywhere and am always within casting distance of my target.

I use 65# PP. I fish some heavy weeds and have pulled in a ton of weeds along with the bass. I have no issues casting with it so might as well use the heavier line. I'm also glad I had it on the reel when I hooked my 48" musky while bass fishing in the slop.

That makes sense.

It would work, I have that reel but use it for plastics. Regarding deep diving cranks, I would think you'd want a higher gear ratio to get the bait down with less effort. But, I don't use deep divers very much.

I've had great luck with the 50's running them over the top of weeds that are a few feet beneath the surface.

I have both KVD's revised edition and the High Percentage...........KVD's all the way.

I frog in thick stuff, 65 lb braid no leader. Jigs and worms I use 30 lb braid, still no leader.

If I was going only three I'd go 1. T-rig for plastics on a MH/Fast 2. Crank/jerk bait on a M/Moderate 3. Spinnerbait/chatterbait on a MH/Fast If I'm going someplace with a lot of weeds and mats I'd switch out #2 for a H/Fast for topwater frogs

I said 4 earlier but yesterday added a fifth. I fish a lot of plastics so added a weigtless rig to go with my weighted since I often switch back and forth depending on depth and vegetation of my current spot. I'm going out Saturday and my pre-rigs will be 1. Weighted t-rig 2. Weightless ri 3. Jerkbait 4. Lipless crank 5. Spinnerbait or chatterbait depending on wind and chop

I went out Monday with the wind constantly around 15-18 mph and gust into the mid 20's. It was no fun, paddling, or casting. A rarely go out for less than 5 hours and this was a long 90 minutes, most of which was spent paddling or trying to stay in place even with an anchor, stake out pole, or both.

Remove the O rings and use VMC Crankbait snaps.....

I started with two figuring why would I need more..now I carry 4 and am fighting the urge to add one more 1. M/Moderate, jerks, cranks, small spinnerbaits 2 MH/Fasts, plastics, jigs, spinnerbaits 1 H/fast, Frogging, Whoppers, big swimbaits If I add one it'll be another MH/fast

I think I could get by with limited rods/reels easier than limited lures.

Northern shoreline or rocks.........I've found them to warm up faster and have better success.

I highly doubt it. And if you did I doubt it's enforceable. Unless you're stealing a name.

I was contemplating getting that exact rod.....so anxiously awaiting answers.

Hollow body frogs. I love the topwater hit I hate that I miss about 1/2 of them.....or the bass miss the bait since it can't be my fault! LOL

1. Booyah Pad Crasher 2. Booyah Pad Crasher 3. Booyah Pad Crasher ' 8. Whopper Plopper 110

I use a worm binder for all my plastics except swim baits. Those are in a plano box with my swim jigs and hard swim baits.

Booyah Pad Crasher. I like the softness of the body. I've had the most success hook up wise with these.
