I'm re purposing my current flipping stick (BPS Extreme 7'6 Hvy/Fast) to a frog and big swimjig rod.  What would be a good reel for this setup? I've heard good things (on here) about the Lew's SuperDuty.  I'm thinking 7.1:1????

Also, would 30lb PP with a 17lb floro leader be sufficient?

tia.

 

Any reel that you like and feel comfortable with will work. It is all user preference. I would up my line to 50lb braid but that is me. 

My inventory is Shimano, but out of curiousity I picked up a ProQualifier on sale two years ago, spooled it with 50lb braid and use it for frog fishing.  I must admit it is a husky little reel and works very well for froggin'.  it certainly is an inexpensive experiment.

OG Zillion is my pick. 200/1 Conquest HG would be sweet if you like setting money on fire. I think heavy cover is a good place for a round reel if you're into them. 

I'm big on Lews reels, I use a Tournament Pro on my frog/toad and flipping rods. I did have a Super Duty for a short time. I didn't see the need for the larger heavier reel.  The TP is a great casting and very tough reel. I like Power Pro 65# braid, no leader.

Great idea! The 7.1:1? 

Yes the 7.1:1.
