I am a big light tackle guy. I love fishing 2-pound or 4-pound test Gamma Pan-
fish Line for crappies, ‘gills and smaller fish of any species. Even when I bass

fish, my spinning/casting rods are filled with 6 to 10 pound test Gamma Edge
or Polyflex for the majority of presentation. But when it comes to summer
frogging for largemouth bass, I beef up. A 6.5 to 7-foot medium-heavy action
casting rod is spooled with 30 pound Gamma Torque. Braid is the only way to
go on a frog outfit. So why talk about a heavy weed outfit? Because I think 2017 is going to be
the Summer of The Frog. The mild winter set the stage for very early

and very rapid weed growth in many area lakes. Vegetation is already
thicker than I can ever remember at Pymatuning. Furthermore,
Presque Isle Bay, Conneaut Lake, Lake LeBoeuf, Edinboro, Lake Wil-
helm as well as Game Land Ponds have always had good weedbeds for
frogging, and I suspect vegetation in these lakes will be thicker and
more expansive than previous years. Time to Get Your Frog On – and
Terminator Frogs
be sure to fish it on 30 or 40-pound Gamma Torque.—Darl Black @
