Is this line to heavy to fish with a hollow body frog.

If you are fishing in super super heavy cover, you can use it for frogs. But it might seem to be an overkill. 50-65 lb. will work

Frogs = 50 pound braid

Flippin & Pitchin = 65 pound braid

Punching = 80 pound braid

80lb is overkill. Especially if you plan to fish it in the pond that you showed everyone a couple of days ago. For frogging, 50lbs max, and thats with heavy cover. Light to medium cover 40lbs.

I fish quite abit of alge in some other pond........ alge that goes to the bottom. would 50lb be best for that?

I am basing my answer on the fact that you are still using the line for hollowbody frog fishing. 50lb would be more than fine. I do not see the need to go over that. You can also getaway with dropping down a little with 40lb if all you are dealing with is algae. The cover you are fishing in is what determines, at least for me, what rod type and line (lbs) I should be throwing when I frog fish.

I think you're getting bad advice here. Look up frogging video's by Bobby Barrack or Dean Rojas, both very well known frog fisherman and they both recommend 65#.

50lbs would be fine...if you are fishing really heavy cover then I would use 65lbs. But if it isn't too thick and you are going to use it to fish other types of cover then 50lbs will work.

40lb, 50lb, 65lb, and 80lb will all work just fine.  I opt for 65lb braid for most situations that call for braid including frogs.  

the thicker the braid the less digging in you get when horsing fish and weeds out of the water. this is why people use heavy braid.

^{80lb is overkill in my mind.  I use 50-65, and I think to myself at times thats over-doing it.  80lb is similar diameter to 18lb mono, which is pretty thick and most smaller reels won't hold much line at that diameter.}

Slick 8 casts pretty good but 80lb thickness is going to put a damper on your frog casting distance.

Hollow body frogs arent all that heavy..

if you arent worried about casting distance and are doubling yer rod maybe for flippin & pitchin' maybe..

 

80 lbs for a lunker punker.. yea .. for koppers hollow frog.. meh

80# slick 8 breaks at around 130#. A tad bit overkill.. 65# would probably be better
