What kind of rod and reel setup is best for walking the frog?
The best rod and reel setup for walking the frog is a 7-foot to 7-foot 6-inch medium-heavy to heavy action rod and a fast to extra-fast reel with a gear ratio of 6:1 or higher. This setup allows for long casts and quick hooksets. A braided line with a test of 50 to 65 pounds is recommended to provide sensitivity and power. It is also important to have a comfortable grip and good balance in your setup to prevent fatigue during long periods of fishing.
