    I use them in #2, 4, and 6 depending on the lure. You can upsize to a #2 on a lot of 1/2 oz and 3/4 oz lipless baits without overpowering the lure with them being short shank. Most of my lipless I just stick with #4 front and back, though.

    Even most MH may struggle to really drive the hooks home on a frog. There's a reason most people throw a Heavy or XH for frogs with 50-65lb braid. I have caught fish in open water on frogs with a MH and 20lb braid though, not saying it can't be done.
     
    Braid floats, outside of specialty sinking braid, you should have zero issues with topwater.
     
    I'll add another voice to a M or MH being much more versatile than a ML, and also repeat that there are limits to its universality in that you may be able to throw a wide variety of lures on it but will not be particularly dialed in on many of them and will have to accept losing fish because of it. Jack of all trades master of none and all that.
  3. Aaron_H's post in Differences between the new slx150 aand curado 150 mgl was marked as the answer   
    The SLX A is just the standard SLX but with the addition of Silent Tune. Different frame than the Curado 150 MGL, and lacking things like MGL spool, cross carbon brakes, SVS Infinity, Micro Module gears, etc.
     
    Still a great reel at $99 IMO.
