I have a Abu Garcia Black Max on a 6'10" MH X-fast action rod. What should I fish with this thing? I threw some mono backing and 50# braid on it, I plan to do some frogging. I'm not sure if that's what this set up is made for (lol) but if not, what type of baits should I fish on this setup?

Jigs, weighted soft plastics, maybe some unweighted too, spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, smaller swimbaits, etc etc etc. Do you know how to cast it? If so, just go to your favorite store and buy a bag or two of Zoom Trick Worms, Strike King Rage Tail Craws or Yum Money Craws, a pack of Gamakatsu 3/0 and 4/0 EWG Hooks and a pack of 1/4 bullet weights and have some fun.

Cool man, thank you, I guess frogging is not the strong-suit for this setup lol. I'll still throw it around for a bit and see how I do. How much weight should I fish with a senko? or a super fluke? and should I tie the weight a few inches above the bait so it doesn't slide or should I just put the weight on the line so that it can slide freely?

You can fish a frog. I don't know how stout your rod is but tie one on and throw it out and start reeling. I usually throw a Senko and a Fluke weightless but you can add weight if you want. A Senko is already pretty heavy but with the Fluke, I would Texas Rig with a 1/8oz bullet weight and let it slide freely.

Thanks again for the help man I really appreciate it!
