Daiwa Elite 8.1:1 65lb 832

OG Tatula Type R in 8:1

Good replies - a larger / wider bait cast spool does not appear to be as critical for frogging as does with say a deep crank bait where you want a decent retrieve speed as soon as the lure hits the water .

7 speed Tatula 200 

65lb power pro

Tatula 150 7:1.  50 lb power pro

Abu 5600C3.  It is the reel I use for punching, but it works with frogs also.

Quantum Accurist 7:1 with 60 lb Amazon something line.  7 1/2' heavy rod I was given with a broken handle.

It might be a Lews LFS after the 4th of July sales.  If it is, it will be replacing a Lews Tournament MB which I will repurpose for bladed jigs.  

My frog reel is the Piscifun Phantom X ,  65lb braid on a 7 foot mh rod. Three years running  and performing like a champ . 

All of my BCs are Daiwa with one exception and that's my frog rod.  It has an Abu Garcia Revo SX.  24lbs of drag and hurls a hollow frog a country mile on 65lb braid.

I have a Tatula CT with 65# braid, and a Tatula SV with 50# so I'll use what feels appropriate for where I'm fishing.

Tatula 150 with 50lb power pro. I use an Irod Freds Magic Stick 7’5” heavy fast

Abu Garcia Revo X Gen 4

50lb Sunline XPlasma 

Daiwa Zillion HD (JDM) - this reel feels like it was built for frogging, nice big handle, built like a tank. 

22 Zillion HD with 50lbs FX2

Diawa Fuego 6 speed, with 50 lb Smackdown.

Metanium with 30lb suffix. No expert here, but anything over 30lb might be an overkill especially around here in MD. YMMV

Lews Tournament Pro Speed Spool LFS 7.5:1

65lb Maxcuattro

 

22 Shimano Bantam XG  50 lb Sunline FX-2  Dobyns XP 736c FH.  I frog fish in heavy cover on Santee Cooper & this set up gets the job done.
