Wondering what other guys are using for their frog rod reel??
For the past 2yrs I have been using a Curado e7 spooled with 70# samurai braid.

I've been using the Zillion 50th Anniversary and will be trying the Zillion Type-R with increased drag. This is for the hollow style frogs.
For the toads I'm throwing them on a Chronarch D7.

I have been using a Zillion HLC with an I'ze HLC spool and 65lb suffix, and have been very pleased. I just got some of the 60lb Sunline braid and am looking forward to trying it out.

How do you like the 50# Suffix 832 and how does it compare to other braids? I'm thinking about picking some up for frogs and pitching into cover.

I used a Chronarch D7 with Sufix 50lb Braid for awhile but I rather use that for my lighter duties.. my Curado E7 with Sufix 50lb Braid gets all that abuse in heavy cover.. and I have a Zillion Type R with Sufix 832 50lb Braid ready to use this summer as well, can't wait!

i havent had any experience with the 50# 832 yet, its not frog season yet here. But i have fished the #20 832 with jigs and I loved it, I only used sufix performance braid until 832 came out. Its better in my opinion so im switching as I need more line.

Any quality brand as long as it's 7._ :1 - you need to get those piggies on top and keep'em there.

For frogging I adore, let me reiterate ADORE the Shimano metanium mg7 with a curado e7 handle and Calais 200 asv knobs with 65lb suffix on a Dobyns Champion 735C. The set up is perfectly balanced, and you can fish it literally all day with little to no shoulder/wrist/elbow fatigue.

Reel- Zillion SHS (with Steez handle) and 65# PP Braid
Rod- Custom 7'3" cut down Kistler LTA 76HC with EVA split grip, Fuji ACS reel seat wrapped with #4 Fuji Alconite Micros
I built this rod just for Frog fishing, but it pulls double duty sometimes when the Frog bite isn't on.... Love pitching Brush hogs or other bigbody baits with this rod...
