Mono doesnt cut flesh like braid .

Neither does Supercast.  It has a coating, and is smooth and round like mono, but no stretch.  Check it out, it may be you're best solution. 

Stanley Top Toad. It’s a soft plastic, hollow body frog. Floats like a cork and holds up very well. It casts like a bomb too. It come pre-rigged on a double hook. The bait is super soft, which exposes the hooks very easily.  My hookup ratio is very good, even with a med rod. They’re cheap and they work very well. 

Geez, I fished frogs on a 7'MH rod with 20lb mono for years and it worked just fine.  I have 50lb braid on now, but the mono was a lot easier to cast.

i used 17lb berkley. and still do with 6 1/2'  & 7'  mh... mostly in open water near a bank ... sometimes in stumps ... can remember the old bassmaster mags. with articles about frog fishing ... nothing new ...

 

good fishing ... 

Try a copolymer like P-Line..

I want to fish frogs over Chara algae matts this year and will be using a 7'0" mh action rod  spooled with mono . I pull bass from it all the time with other lures on this rod . What frog would excel in getting solid hook ups with this setup ?Perhaps one with slightly smaller hooks , softer body ..? 

 

 

 

try the booyah pad crasher jr. Smaller body with slightly lighter hooks. My wife was able to connect on more than a few occasions with 7 foot MH spinning rod with braid. I know you fish with mono, but the slightly lighter hooks should increase your hook ups. Let us know what your found that worked for you. Good luck.

Put a Lake Fork frog trailer hook on a Booyah Jr. Pad crasher and you will be all set. Line problem is not a problem for you any more and your hook ups will increase substantially.  I have no affiliation with the aforementioned product, matter of fact, when I ordered these from Cabelas a few years ago; they were back ordered, so I had to wait 2 months to get these.  They do work well.
