can you use frogs with 14lb mono when running it through very light vegetation? i have yet to miss a fish. (i have only caught three, lol.)

If it's working than it's working but I would rather be safe than sorry using braid. 50# braid is usually 12# dia mono equivalent

It will work...for me the thing with mono is not that it will break in the weeds, but the stretch it gives to get a good hookset. On a big fish you will get a lot of stretch and not be able to penetrate that upper lip of the fish and you will lose fish because of that.

i only use mono for frog fishing, 12lb, never had a problem.

For hollow bodies like Spro etc braid only. For buzz frogs I use 15-17 lb mono and have not had a problem hooking up. To me fishing buzzfrogs is not much different than fishing buzzbaits as far as hook diameter. I use 17# Suffix Seige most of the time on a Mustad Powerlock light weighted swimbait hook. I also use this set up for swimbaits like skinny dippers etc.

A Yum Buzzfrog fished over sparse grass or open water adjacent to cover I'll use 12# mono, if I'm in grass but not thick stuff I'll use 17# mono but if it is slop I use the 50# braid, that is the only time I use braid.
