[QUOTE="Cubman, post: 34038, member: 417"] Thanks for the replies. Here is my setup at the moment: Shimano Sahara 1500 (Spinning Reel) Shakespeare Ugly Stik 6'6" MH Trilene XT 8 lb test I was using a Ribbit Frog texas-rigged weightless today, and it worked flawlessly in open water, but it would just lay on top of the weeds, and the legs would not kick on the retrieve. It eventually got stuck, and no amount of yanking, no matter where I was on the bank, would get it undone. I also tried what Esquired reccomended, with the Buggy-Whip. It did save the same frog from a low hanging branch the other day, but I would not pull the frog out of these weeds. Is there anything wrong with this setup? Do I need a baitcaster and braid to fish these weeds? [/QUOTE]
