daiwa black label reel C63MH-FR – JDM TACKLE HEAVEN performance baitcasting reel built for versatility PRODUCT FOCUS: Black Label Bassin’

A new Frogging specific stick in the Veritas lineup Veritas Frog Rod: The Veritas Frog Rod is built on a blank made from 24 ton graphite to deliver specially engineered rod with a soft tip for casting lightweight frogs with a strong backbone for reliable hooksets and the strength to pull large fish from heavy cover

This grip is also colloquially known as "palming" the reel, and is favored by some anglers who prefer single-handed casting due to straighter rod alignment with the forearm (thus better ergonomics due to less ulnar deviation), an intuitive feel of "pointing" the rod with more precise and comfortable control of the rod movements (particularly when finesse fishing), and a firmer hold on the reel and line tension when fighting the fish

In the northern parts of the country they can dip down in to the 30s and 40s before turning to ice

I like mono because it helps float the bait above the bottom
