Power Pro 50 or 65lb braid. Been on that reel for a year.
Lucked out ordering that rod. It's a happy medium between target casting and mat casting. Can do both pretty well.

I have the Toadface currently with an SV103HL (6.3:1) and blue 45# Fins 40G. Out with it once. Have to see how the reel works. May go with a faster ratio reel. Then again I may keep the SV103 on it as I don't often fish a frog and the Toadface is said to be very versatile.
My first dedicated frog rod (kept in Florida).
OG Tatula 7'4" HF
Curado 201E7
60# yellow Fins Original PRT (probably drop down to 50# next time line needs changing)
Too late for this old guy to read through all the posts. Will save that for another day.
BTW, I picked up a couple used older Excense DC reels. How do you like yours? Love mine the little I've used the one. Second still in box. :-(
this is a difficult one i fosh alot of clear open water i like the dobyns 735 for that but we go to the cali delta every year and i fish a 736 with a completely different frog so it all depends a slither k would be hard to fish on a x heavy rod but a bobbys perfect will be easy its all in how you like to fish and what type of lakes
Shimano Expride 7’2 Heavy
Shimano Chronarch mgl hg

My exsence dc is an older one as well and I absolutely love it for froggin', I've switched most of my reels from Shimano over to Daiwa but I won't give that one up, I would and might get another but I'm in no hurry to buy, just want to see what's popular and check out some options before I decide.Resurrected from the dead.

It's what you leave behind.

A glass rod for throwing a frog? Ive never heard of that whats the reason for you using glass
Right now I’m using a 7’6 H-XF Carbonlite 2.0 with a Tatula Type R, 50lb Sufix 832. It’s a flipping stick and a frog rod, not really suitable for much else!
