FROG Tackle Tip #2

This tip is to select your tackle to match the environment you fish and the fishing platform you are fishing from. As an example, if you fish from a kayak, you can get away with lighter tackle than you can when fishing from a bassboat while fishing in heavy cover. While fishing from a bassboat, you will need to winch the bass and often a large amount of vegetation toward the boat. A kayak, however, will immediately begin moving through the heavy vegetation toward the resistance, allowing the angler to move toward the entangled fish rather than to move the fish to the boat.

FROG Tackle Tip #3

This tip concerns rod choice for fishing various environments with a FROG lure. If you are making long casts and retrieving over lily pads or other vegetation, a longer rod is very helpful for holding your line high to avoid catching on rough pad edges or avoiding tangles and lifting over various forms of emergent vegetation. When making short accurate casts to targets, a shorter rod is often a much better choice. A baitcasting outfit is often helpful to control the cast for a quieter landing on the water. When casting beneath overhanging trees or under docks an even shorter rod is very helpful. Some specialty rods are as short as 3 foot.
