Hey everybody, I just started Froggin and I love it!!

I was wondering what types of techniques you all use when Froggin (i.e. fast cranking, walking the dog, etc.).

What type of tackle (i.e. Rod, Reel, Line) and what are some of your favorite lures to use?

Thanks in Advanced.

I USE A BASS PRO SHOP BAIT CASTER WITH 15lb. BRAID, A 7FT MED ACTION UGLY STICK. I PICKED UP THE KERMIT SPECAL FROM BASS PRO SHOP. YOU GET 6 DIFFERENT COLOR FROGS READY TO GO. THIS SPRING I HAVE DONE VERY WELL WITH THEM WITH 22 BASS FALLING FOR MY KERMITS. RETREIVE, WELL I START OUT SLOW THEN AFTER I COMPLETE MY FAN CASTING FROM RIGHT TO LEFT, AND COVER THE ENTIRE AREA, I START TO SPEED UP THE RETREIVE, THEN GO TO WALK THE DOG.
ON ONE LAKE I FROG, THE BASS ONLY WANT THE FROG WHEN IT IS SLOW RETREIVED. THEN IN A SMALL CREEK I FISH THE BASS LIKE THE WALK THE DOG RETREIVE.
TRY ALL THE DIFFERENT RETREIVES UNTILL YOU FIND OUT HOW THE BASS IN YOUR WATERS WANT IT, AND THEY WILL TELL YOU. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS LISEN.

I use a Pflueger President baitcaster on a Fenwick HMX 7ft. med.heavy rod with 30lb. braid. I have some of the Bass Pro Shops kermit frogs that RHank1 mentioned but the paint is peeling off mine. My favorite is the Matzuo Kroaker Frog. They make a black one called the night frog with a scooped out face like a popper. Highly recommended, try K-Mart. That's where I get mine.
