st croix custom ice fishing rods model LBI24L St. Croix Skandic Ice Spinning

It can be a booger to learn this technique but if you make yourself skip docks with a frog for a few trips, youll be making difficult casts in no time

Adding a plastic bait to your hook provides action, scent, color and feel to the jig head, ultimately making it a fish-catching phenom

It was then sold on

My choice for a frogging setup: G-Loomis IMX Pro 74 Heavy Frog rod (884 TWFR), a Shimano Tranx 300A 5.8:1 ratio reel, and at least 65-pound PowerPro braided line

Some models require a belly weight to serve as a keel for proper swimming action

Its a little more complicated than a spinning reel but there is no doubt its better
